It was always about the process and as you point out, the joy was taken away as a result. We will find more stillness. It's just a matter of letting it happen. :-) @Sarah, Also, this metaphor of needing to win the war of art puts the focus wrongly on the creations.

We will find more stillness. It’s just a matter of letting it happen. :-)

For a running analogy, it is like trying to "fight the hill" or "kill the competition"-- it just makes the actual doing too harsh and takes away the joy. Your dharma camp experience sounds wonderful, I want to hear more about it! Here's to hoping we find more stillness while sitting and that we are able to bring that more and more into the movement of everyday life. This makes a lot of sense Trish.
