Inktober

Posted on by philipdodson


Above is this year’s #inktober so far up to ‘day 17’.

This is my third year of doing the #inktober challenge and I absolutely love it. It’s simple, each day there is a prompt for you to create an ink drawing, although you do not have to follow the prompt, and then post your ink drawing to Instagram using the #inktober.

Art is one of my favourite things to do, and in recent months I have fallen away a little from my habit of doing a piece of art each day, even if it is just a quick pencil sketch. When I am doing my art I’m in the moment, focused and free from the mind and its distractions.

So I’m glad to be back in the grove and doing it each day. Like all things, small easy steps build a habit and when we are focused on the small daily routine, then the mind is silent as there is little risk. If we focus on big giant leaps, then alarms ring and the mind sabotages as its poor little ego is at risk.

Step by step keeps us focused now in the joy of doing not thinking about the ‘big’ outcome.

A game

Posted on by philipdodson

Every moment is a new moment, after all, we are a ball of energy, a soul, a being, that is having a human experience. An eternal ball of energy that is part of the one life that is everything, that is the universe. We are indestructible as that ball of energy, inside a human form. No need for egos, thoughts, past or future…it’s now that matters, always.

We have the opportunity to enjoy that experience, it is like a game, fun, exciting, ups and downs…but the key for us all, which is the hardest thing to master, is not to let anything bother us. Accept everything, let go and reset the game.

Nothing matters, enjoy the game of a human life and remember a new game starts every new moment. After all, you, me and everyone alive today will be a cloud of dust in a 100 years or less and our energy will be repurposed for another experience.
