undoing clutter

.... so i have begun the coma project (if you are new here...you can follow that story from my coma category) . and i have noticed so far it is a dot. and of course i have been thinking about dots, among other things. i want to lose the other things for a while. now it is only dots. my dot coma will help me stop. so i can continue. so the first thought i recorded in  my dot journal was... 'maybe a dot can simply be the place where you begin...'
blocking out clutter is a way to focus. i find you don't need to physically change anything. you just have to fill your mind with an idea. and keep it there. and let everything become part of it. associate everything you do, hear, see, feel ....with it.  the bowl was for water because i am painting some dots today. i picked the bowl with the dots on purpose as part of my little game. but then the  bowl seemed to me to be a dot.  and the morning sun reflected off the rim onto the table and formed a dot of light.
.....and the paint i squeezed out formed pools of color. (i like the way the shadows are changing the shapes) dots!... geez..... there are dots wherever i turn.
.....this morning i decided that for me this will be the year of the dot. my dot sampler has become a quiet way for me to experiment with dots. later i went on to think about a button as a dot. and how stories can be dots, or points in time, connected.
