I paused a few minutes ago, between writing articles, to re-read and to take pleasure from one of them. Essentially, I surprised and delighted myself. Like a medium through whom some other voice is speaking, I looked at my work from afar, and enjoyed what I saw. And I had to make myself pause for a few extra seconds to appreciate everything about the creative process: the fact that I have the time and ability to write, that I said something well, or at least to my satisfaction, and that what I wrote might, just might be enjoyed by others. For a split second amidst this reverie, I felt a little guilty. “I should instantly march on to my next conquest,” I told myself, before reconsidering it. Then the words came to me. “No,” I told myself, “You should savor what you’ve done; you deserve it, and you should simmer a while before you do your next piece.” If you’re in any creative line of work or play, as a writer, a painter, a speaker, or something else, do yourself a big favor. Don’t let a madcap work ethic spoil your own enjoyment of what you’re doing. “Savor and Simmer!” or if you prefer, “Simmer & Savor!” Treat your craft like you would a good soup or fine wine. Enjoy it thoroughly, before moving on to the next thing. Dr. Gary S.
