The ladybug metaphor working on multiple levels here is realy well done. The image of them pressing against the glass feels like such a precise capture of that creative frustration when life crowds out making space for work. I've had similar moments where stepping away completley (even just for a few days) recalibrates what's actually possible versus what just feels impossible because everything else is so loud. The detail about observing their spot patterns to paint them accurately is a nice touch too, it shows how slowing down changes what you notice. Hope you've been able to carry some of that energy forward.
Thank you for reading, and for such a thoughtful comment. It feels good to know it resonated with you, especially the challenges of trying to make work amid the noise of daily life. I hope we can both carry that focused, slowed-down energy forward!
