Gestation Period - A time in a Season

One meaning of gestation is:

"the development of something over a period of time."

"various ideas are in the process of gestation"


I would like to thank a creative friend for calling it my gestation period.

The creative process can also fit into a gestation period however what shows up on the other side is unknown. That in itself develops creativity without restrictions.

In my case, week one to four was lived with very little physical vision. However the brain continues to provide colour and shapes in dreams and instinct. Trust in self was fed.

Week four brings a bit more physical vision however instinct is still in the divers seat.

In week five, physical vision brings new challenges where physical light is not allowed to be seen. The brain was asked to work harder while remaining calm. One has to appreciate nature for it's influences on stress levels, fear and anxiety, while feeding creativity.

Week six was a continuation of week five however the physical vision was showing a little more light and shapes. Creativity was still present and in the drivers seat.

The eyes, although extremely important, are only a vehicle for the brain to preform and feed itself.

Week seven is progressing slowly however light is allowed to visit. The physical vision is still blurry yet the brain and in turn creativity does not rest.

Week eight is a lot more of week seven however the light is brave amongst the blurriness.

We do not know where this may lead once this gestation period has come to a close. One thing that is certain, as much as this is life changing, creativity has progressed. Even though I do not know if I will be exhibiting these painting, I look forward to b able to physically see them at some point.

Family, friends and creativity are crucial for healing.
