Well, hello there. It's Morgan here and welcome to today's episode. Today's episode is for the one who

might be feeling a little bit rushed or maybe feeling very rushed in life. This is something

that I personally deal with and I constantly have to return to this idea of slowing down and

not pressuring myself to always keep up with time, even as I hear the

clock ticking. So this is just something that I wanted to share with you that I've learned

when it comes to looking at a clock on the wall and how I've been kind of playing with that

image. So we all know that it is just far too easy to feel rushed

in our modern world. And as a poet and artists, I've always been very intrigued by the aesthetics

associated with time for this very reason. And I really try to spend a lot of time with it

because I want to try to visualize with

arts or words something different, even if it's only for a moment. So I've already written about

a clock on the wall in several poems of mine before because for one, I just need to be reminded of

myself. And two, it's because this very precise image of a

clock, it really does encapsulate that feeling for me of like always needing to keep up with time.

So when I sit down to sketch a clock or paint one, I'm always observing where I'm choosing to

break the rules. So I've yet to ever paint any kind of hyper-realistic clock. So instead,

what I often do is as I am making those circles go round and around and around. Sometimes I'll

stop and I'll immediately lift up the pencil just to obscure that perfect circle or I'll add some of the

numbers and then I'll blur some of them out. And for me, even just this small activity,

it just gives me permission to say, hey, let's change this up for a little bit, even if it's

just for a few seconds, even if it's just for an art piece. And if you're listening to this

thinking, well, that's great for art,
