I’m so excited about the new newsletter Nicola, I have not been an avid Milton reader but I’d love to explore the nuances from your perspective.
I agree creative work can be exhausting if we attach the significant effort we put into the process to the demands of success the world puts on us. It is not always proportional in nature. Creativity is like harnessing chaos, like catching a lightning in a bottle, it is bound to create enormous mess but then as we keep on the path and travel further into our deeper spaces of awareness, we reach the point where, as you said, become conscious observers , merely noticing things in absence of thoughts and saying them exactly as they are without judgements. I think the whole process is meant to refine our awareness.
This was beautiful. Just a delight to read.

Lovely to read your words again, Nicola. I've missed them.
Love this, "voice in consciousness that occasionally speaks".
