It's amazing all the thoughts and ideas a simple, single image can and will convey, isn't it? I loved this photo when I first saw it and am glad to see it again.

Her words ring so true to me. We create art because we have to; it is as natural to us as breathing. [...] [...] Cathy Bennett eloquently writes about an artist’s life. Her words ring so true to me.

And here's to those who wear their hearts on their sleeves and their necks on the block. Bless'em. Mainstream life seems like a parallel universe to me when I venture past the Tamar,(the river that separates England from the rest of Cornwall). There are scores of artists down here in Pz and St Ives and we blend really well amongst the locals who are bizzarre enough as it is, even by Hogwart standards. All I know is that artists are born artists and they die artists. What they do in between is art....even if it's 'bad art'. I think the secret is to be a good person. Good things will happen. Keep the faith... Kx mdf, you make it sound so heroic! And here’s to those who wear their hearts on their sleeves and their necks on the block. Bless’em.

To keep one's sense of self intact in a world that entices you to conform. I love this statement that was made my Rudyard Kipling: "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is hard business. If you try it you will be lonely often,and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." It’s the sharing, the unspoken, the not needing to fill up the quiet spaces with words.

You know, I've felt that inquiring energy, that seeking whenever I've had the good fortune to spend some time with you and your Allan. Wish we could do it more, but so good to be able to check in on the process from afar through our blogs. I'm here with my morning java, loving it all. xo. sister, friend, it’s so true.
