‘’the first sip is joy the second is gladness, the third is serenity, the fourth is madness, the fifth is ecstasy.” - Kerouac
 

So, here I find myself, having just pressed the launch button. Gone live, as it were, a strange notion, live inside a data construct of ones and zeros.
Do you have a preference , are you a One or a Zero, can you be both at the same time?

The culmination of any idea is always met with a brace of emotions; satisfaction, relief, trepidation, excitement…..

and so here I am. Currently on the ‘fourth sip’ !

Currently, physically, in Australia, with a head in the clouds and a heart somewhere straddling the expanse between India & Japan. When opportunity and time present, I will jump straight back into the embrace of those heady , wonderful cultures. Craving that sense of ‘otherness’, that comes with the experience of cultures so deep and different.

The discoveries and the learnings that these places and travel in general offer us are the true gems. In the ‘in between times’, the now, the familiar, the challenge is to find the magic in the mundane in the zone of comfort which our daily lives inhabit. The promise of the new, the strange the stunning and the downright weird calls to me. Inspirations waits in the next train ride, the next temple, trek, meal, sunrise, sunset.

‘Inspiration comes in waves, gathering phase, sorting phase, creation phase, editing phase, and then the letting go . After a wave has passed it’s always hard to imagine producing anything ever again. How did I do that?

I tend to have great creation energy combined with poor completion energy. So it goes. That is why this endeavour is so momentous to me, somehow I have managed to stick to task and birth this thing, whatever it is , whatever it will become.

I m so excited to share the ebb and flows of of the creative process with you . Let’s see what’s what, shall we.

Hari Om Tat Sat
