August is not my favorite month. I’m not sure I’ve ever spent time thinking about this, but today it came up as I was writing my morning pages. The daily three pages of stream of conscious writing is a new facet of my life, derived from The Artist’s Way, by Julia Cameron. I should probably remember how the books I read find their way to me, but in this case, I’m drawing a blank. The important aspect is that its subtitle, “A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity” is what made me decide to buy it. I’m only in the midst of Week Two, but the morning pages are now a fixture in my life. Any number of things arise in the morning pages, but a few days ago, August stood out.
Why August?
