oh boy, I’m having a hard time getting into the swing of things again. It’s so quiet here in my studio. Suddenly alone and peaceful. It’s a good thing, but an adjustment still.

Lots of stuff taken in over the last week… I slept a lot and read a lot, got mauled by a sting ray, chased by a rooster in a graveyard, and given the evil eye by a barracuda. I cried a big cry, laughed until my back hurt, felt at peace with the universe. I drank a lot of salt water and felt the warm sand on my bare toes.

I also made a step toward being more compassionate. A leap toward learning myself. And a tiptoe back in patience.

But for now, I’ll leave you with that. I have some stuff to catch up on, and I’ll have pictures to show soon.

* * * And coming later this week: the 2007 Halloween Contest. (It’s gonna be a fun one! Stay tuned!)

    You look lovely as an octopus. Everything sounds great except for the crying and the stingray. I’d love to hear the details of the rooster/graveyard escapade. There’s a painting in that for sure. Thanks for the constant inspiration!
