Thought for the Day

Just quickly, as I've got to run to Little League games this morning...
This quote, by artist Shelley Hocknell, really struck me.

"To me it’s a form of meditation, similar in principal to painting and climbing - overcoming your perceptions of what you are (or are not) capable of doing, by mentally relaxing in a challenging situation and allowing yourself to succeed, rather than ‘trying hard’ and often failing."

She's talking about something called "slacklining", but what I like is the idea of overcoming my perceptions (often limiting) and learning to relax in a challenging situation. I'm not likely to find myself slacklining anytime soon, but as my adventures and challenges mostly take place in my studio, I found this inspiring.
