Deliverable

Taken from Bruce Mau’s Incomplete Manifesto:

33. Take field trips. The bandwidth of the world is greater than that of your TV set, or the Internet, or even a totally immersive, interactive, dynamically rendered, object-oriented, real-time, computer graphic–simulated environment.

I need to take more field trips. In her book The Artist’s Way, Julia Cameron calls these field trips “Artist Dates”. Time for our inner artist to refuel and fill the well. I find myself slightly jealous when M. takes her Artist Date each week. My inner artist cries out “I should be going on Artist Dates! I was the one who recommended she read the darn book in the first place!”. I know that I can decide to go on an Artist Date (or field trip, as Bruce puts it…) at any time. Something in me is rising up and becoming more and more vocal that I desperately need to do this on a regular basis. I’m sure that I remember something in the book about resistance to doing this, which is what I struggle against. The ugly fear monster rears it’s head.

Again, just sending out the following assertion: “I must take regular field trips to fill the well.”
