Thanks to Janet, from her blog and my virtual 5 min travels there, I soaked up the inspiration to give myself another 5 min to do a quick sketch. It’s inspired by the Shaman divination card I pulled for this 5 min drawing. What happens if you live in 5 min increments?
Also, I had more time, and I spent it on a call with the poet David Whyte. I’m keeping my inspiration alive in the shadows of others. This has been a long time strategy. I hope to offer support as I have received it. I hope my blog post inspires you to consider how meditatively or intentionally you can live in 5 minutes. I hope one day my work will achieve a worthiness for the attention it needs.
I’m not in the business of putting out polished work right now, but one day I would certainly like to be able to do that. In the meantime, I’m keeping that pilot light lit 🔥
I’ll be visiting everyone in those same 5 min increments, as I don’t have a lot of “free” time, even with the world-wide lockdowns. I just have all the stuff I’ve been procrastinating, waiting for me to give it my 5 minutes. So much of my time is given freely, as is yours….
Thank you 🙏🏽

Thanks!
Love this five minute sketch!
Thank you 😊!!
You’re welcome 🙂
I like the intense expression your were able to capture on his face! Great sketch.
Thank you, Christy! I’m really happy to “see” you. I’ve missed you. Stay healthy and best wishes for you and your family 💗
I love it! And I completely get it, Ka! I would have thought that I would feel like I have more time…but I don’t! The thing is there are so many projects that I flit from one to the other and the next thing I know it is 8pm and I have not eaten dinner yet!
Stay well my friend…and enjoy all of those 5 minute increments 😉
❤
Thank you, Lorrie 💗
You do get it. Life is full. Janet Weight Reed writes about sketching all the time. She’s inspired me to eke out more moments where I make contact with drawing in any way.
Health and wellness to you, too! Xo

I like your sketch Ka and love the idea of living in short intentional bursts of time/ focus. May they add up to a rich and fulfilling life.
Thank you, Brad! I want to get better at consolidating and polishing—but I’m in a different phase right now. Life is fulfilling and I’m glad to be living it, no matter what.
Great attitude.
This superimposed figure, you have done in a moment, that gives us an idea that you have enough talent for more challenges. The sketch is magnificent.
Health

Thank you for your appreciation. I’m happy with the challenges in my day that already exist. Happy to have made it to the drawing pad at alL. Having ease and enjoyment more and more. I appreciate your comment. Good health to you as well.
I enjoy your blog and I’m glad you have that innate talent for drawing.
Manuel
Thank you! While there might be something innate about my drawing, I’d like to think it was cultivation of a skill. This is just one of many drawings. But I haven’t been very busy doing this throughout my years like I would have liked.
It’s amazing what we can do in 5 mins… and I love your style of drawing. Much love to you ka… keep rolling those 5 inspiring minutes here. Barbara x
Thank you! My style is only emerging, as it’s probably showing up in my lines; you can’t remove the human from behind the expression…! thank you for your encouragement! The shaman is alive in me.
I love the idea of five minute increments. A sketch or anything done in five minutes doesn’t have to be anything but what it is. Your sketch reminds me of Creb from Clan of the Cave Bear., though I suppose this is an archetypal shaman.
Yes, archetypal! I looked up Creb from Clan of Cave bear 🐻: Now I am curious! Thank you for liking my concept and seeing it for what it is 🙂✨ Please stay healthy and well!
Clan of the Cave Bear is the first of Jean Auel’s series. They made a movie, too. Of course books always go deeper. The series has been a big part of my life, especially since I’m such a slow reader. 🙂
How beautiful! Thank you for sharing! If you’ve been reading the series for a while, I can see how it’s seeped in deeply 🙂
Nice blog
Thank you 🙂
My pleasure. Followed you ☺️
I followed you back. I like your blog, too. You write about philosophical topics, and I enjoy your style.
Wonderful sketch. If you can do that in 5 minutes, I can only imagine how beautiful a sketch would look if you took more time. Nice work and post.
Thank you so much for taking the time to view my drawing, and then to leave such a lovely note for me. 🙂 very nice to meet you, Geri.
