The encaustic workshop did not make so I had time to kill today. It was so nice because everyone left to do other things and I had the house to myself. I watched a very intersting movie called "The Bloom Brothers". I am not a big fan of Adrien Brody but I love Mark Ruffalo. Enjoyed sitting still in the middle of the day with my dog in my lap. I also had to admit that fall is here and summer blooms are fading away. There is work to be done to clean up all the pots and get some fall color with mums.

I found the book that I had been looking for. It is an architectural design book with a lot of interesting profiles. When I was looking for it I knew exactly what I needed and was sure it was in the book. Now that it is found I'm not so sure. I have an ecaustic piece with a background from a picture I took in New York from the Empire State Building. I wanted to draw a man's business profile to be outlined in wax superimposed over the picture. Now I think I need to do something else. Maybe it will come to me as I fall asleep.

I'm still feeling the need to use Paul Klee as inspiration. The simplicity of his work with the power to send a message is what I would like to accomplish. I should have melted wax and gone for it but it did not happen today. Now, will I be selfish and do something creative or will I be nurturing and spend the day taking care of others needs? You never know how a day will turn. Maybe, I can do both.

It was John Lennons birthday recently and that made me think about the Strawberry Fields in Central Park and New York. He was so creative and followed his own path. He died young but he had done the things he was called to do. I jokingly tell everyone that I could die right now and it would all be okay. I have lived a good and full life. I still have a lot to say (definitely) and do (okay a lot of housework because you know that's how a woman is judged).

Okay, I know I ramble and am not cohesive in my posting. I am hoping that some sort of discipline will kick in and I will be more controlled in my thoughts when typing. There is just something that makes me want to let my fingers do the talking. Should I just mention a movie without talking plot? Can I just make a random statement withou details or how it affects other statements? Do I need to have a hurrah moment at the end of the post that ties everything together and makes the reader feel safe reading and not have to make connections for themselves. Am I trying to start conversations or feed information to a conversation?

Some people have actually read my posts and for that I am thankful. I have been in the habit of doing "morning pages" per Julia Cameron. That excercise is about filling three pages with thoughts to clear the path for creativity. This in no way fulfil that definition but the process had created this ramdom writing. I hope my readers will bear with me or give up and read more comprehensive blogs full of sunshine, poppies and bluebirds. ( I just have to be a little sarcastic every now and then...)

Peace, joy and happiness!
