Early June. After rafting on the Rogue River for a week am back at the studio looking at the garden’s growth. Why do artists get a reputation for being lazy? It is a true illusion. Artists enjoy beauty, and falling into the beauty of colors and fresh growth in the garden is a great pastime. The mind drifts as the breeze stirs leaves and flower petals. Sounds of people enjoying lunch in the next door restaurant, sounds of water flowing in the fountain, mix with the peaceful moments. After days of fog in Pt Reyes the sun now is bright. I know there is a lot of work to do. I must work on my web site, must finalize the drawings for the new commissioned altar, cast some hearts, paint some moons, update my email list from the recent open studios yes, there is a lot to do. But now, right now, being in the sunshine nourishes my being, feeds my soul, and just gives me a contented breath of life. I will get to all the things needing to be done. There is no fear of not being able to accomplish what needs doing. It is just that I am transmuting these moments into a time of quiet reflection and if you were to drop in right now we could have the most stimulating visit.
