| STATE OF MIND: FINDING THE BREATH, Diane Santarella, 2009, mixed media on paper, 30 x 22 |
Frankly, if you woke up in a warm safe bed and can drink a glass of clean tap water it is an auspicious day and you are ahead of most of the world's population. Consider that for a moment.
So, hmm, how to spend a once in a lifetime cosmic jackpot lottery ticket of a day?
Coffee, give Simon his eyedrops, notice the full moon still up at 6am like a giant pearl in the western sky, feed Simon, let Simon out, hear the bluebird singing his heart out on the fence, more coffee, check email, talk to my Sweetie who's away on a workshop, blog, throw on some painting clothes, and then hit the studio. Make art.
Indeed: an auspicious day.
Some words to think about along the way...
"If you want to live your life in a creative way, as an artist, you have to not look back too much. You have to be willing to take whatever you’ve done and whoever you were and throw them away."
Steve Jobs
