The world is full of people whose notion of a satisfactory future is, in fact, a return to the idealized past.
-Robertson Davies

another day closer to the exhibit opening & the pace is getting more & more frantic by the hour.

another day of painting
moving cases
cleaning objects
building mounts
installing
more painting
cleaning
editing text
more painting
more cleaning
�& on & on & so forth.
at least my morning was livened up by some flooding from last night�s downpour. just a little extra to brighten my day.

despite all this i�m in an ok mood today. feeling better after blowing off some steam last night. started work on a new poem & i think it may just need a few light tweaks before it is done. if plans fall into place i�ll be spending the weekend pulling stuff together for a new book. (looking to have it out by my december feature) could be a good weekend of just focusing on my words. have to see what the next few days bring.

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts...

thinking about where i would like to be in the next few years. i know that i need to make some changes, but many of those changes are internal & simply require me to stop making excuses & just get my ass moving. would like to start doing more gigs again. there are many places on the east coast that i haven�t read at & i think it is time for me to start breaking some new ground. want to get the painting going again & i think the colder weather will help me do that. perhaps start seeking out some more places to exhibit or even set up a website. (something i�ve needed to do for myself for years)

just need to get the juices flowing again. i feel better when i�m creating & i�m hoping that this is the start of a new phase in my work.

i�m just rambling now.
time to call it a day & get outta here.
hope you all have a good evening.
more tomorrow.

be well.

The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity.
