I'm feeling the challenge of the weekend day that zooms by as if I'm living it in 'dog years'.. I'm not so strong at math-- I just know it's faster. Maybe that's why dog's are so happy?-- They know that life is too short to take too seriously ; ) (Sheesh, even I recognize myself feeling a bit of the fool after that last statement-- but why care? I had a great full day of friends, productivity, partaking in a great birthday celebration... all that, AND I made it home in time to deliver today's work! Now THAT is a good day in my book my friends!)
This project continues to bring me things I didn't,.. and couldn't expect. I highly recommend staying aware,.. and listening for your own 'thing' that keeps calling you to 'jump in'. Trust it-- say 'Yes'-- and Jump-In, the water's fine!
Which reminds me... a good friend of mine I saw at the birthday party tonight found my project motivating and inspiring enough (sweet,.. it's working! ; ) to commit to writing a poem about my next painting (NAILS - you're 'ON' buddy!). Yeah,.. yea... it's working. If he's cool with it, I'll share the poem with you all soon. (Maybe he'll also share the cool project ('Hear me out') he's working on to connect young writers with their own voices.)
Thanks again for dropping in-

Today's word:
'destino'
This just in-- a poem inspired by this painting and submitted by Robert 'NAILIS' Martin,..
destino
plumage
heavy as history
Carrara white
rising from a Cape Canaveral
destiny, a drillrig
another day
the moon a skull
in the sky
blood on the ground
reminds us
that we were here
and once human
