I love my naps..

I have already found myself avoiding even the IDEA of the artists dates! But now I've scheduled myself for one on Monday. I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do, but I'm meeting a friend for lunch in town so I'm either going to do something before or after.
Just wandering the streets going in and out of shops is a luxury for me, or even wandering into the main library and looking through the art books and so on.
I think these might be OK as artists dates?

I think my best artist dates were like the one you are describing here.. Wandering the streets..
I liked to do that..
I can't do that any more as we live in the country and the road can get busy and there is not much of a shoulder.. I could walk into the swamp behind us.. but hey..
What happened in the other groups I belonged to was that the members would check in and tell what they did and describe the 'aha' moments.. But bottom line we get to decide how we need to do the artist date.. And naps may be what is best.. I sure as heck don't know..
This from The Vein of Gold what she wrote after the AW.. and adds to what she wrote in the AW..

Simply this: you are not after the thoughts and companionship of others. You are after the thoughts and companionship of your soul...
In the book she deals with crazy makers.. there is a big part of a chapter on that.. folks that come into our lives and make us crazy.. distract us from the prime directive.. or distract us from our thoughts..
When we create we are doing a 'pure' thing.. we are communicating with a part of ourselves that almost takes over.. finding that path to ourselves is what doing the artists dates are all about.. IMO
