I recently shook my feathers from head to tip of tail just enough to loosen up the inner gumption to subscribe to mailings from copywriter Meg Peery <megpeery.com>.
She promptly rattled my cage (am I mixing metaphors? maintaining one? doesn't matter) with a discussion of motion vs. action.
If I stop now to examine metaphors—feathers, cage—or explain the difference between motion and action, I'll be in motion but not taking the action that aligns with my inner inklings.
I need to take the action of posting to my blog for the first time in weeks to document the first time I've picked up a paintbrush in my studio in months.
Studio as repository for all manner of items related to renovations going on elsewhere in my home:
Action taken just now:
 |
| grabbed a page of quality paper from an old calendar, grabbed a paintbrush (marketed as a makeup brush), grabbed a jar of black gesso, painted gesso onto paper: ACTION |
