We are filming for several days to collect footage of the beautiful scenery as well as your’s truly talking about the project and all the plans for Exnihilo Art Center.
It is crazy beautiful here. You think you know what blue is until you have been here. Then you have to mentally color-correct the rest of your life.
The hardest part of being down here is wanting to play when there is so much to get done. Funny how two weeks is a lot if you are on vacation, but seems like not enough when you have stuff to do.
And there is such a thing as “island time”. It is not a myth. It is when you pull up a chair at the local outdoor grill for a little conch salad and a chat with the fun folk there... realizing that two hours have just gone by.
It is like that with everything.
Planning anything by the clock doesn’t work here. Serendipity is king and the best thing to do is sit back and enjoy the ride because you never know what or who may cross your path.
So far this trip has revealed some new friends, more island wisdom, and some great additions to the project that involve more partnerships with the local artists and schools. I continually learn to be open to adjusting the plans that I have worked so hard on and be willing to let go of some things and add some others.
The excitement continues.
