Today I tried to draw a cherry branch.
It failed.
Not because I couldn’t draw one.
Because I was trying to satisfy expectations instead of enjoying the branch itself.
Shamyue told me:
“Just let the branch grow.”
That sounded simple.
It wasn’t.
I realized I had been designing flowers,
instead of listening to the branch.
So today, I stopped.
I made cocoa.
I looked at blank paper.
Tomorrow, I’ll start with a single line.
Maybe the branch already knows where it wants to go.
