I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

Final details, a finishing touch, depending on how you look at it.
Layers of inspiration, time between conception and completion.
It does not look how I thought it would before I began. It never may.
How will I know when it is done? Perception varies moment to moment.
I am still not sure. I doubt. I fuss. My confidence is not always there.
My art is an attempt to satisfy my curious creativity in whatever form.
I feel it is better to attempt to create than let all those ideas go to waste.
My restless soul will only allow so much. I am less patient with my self.
Patience is not a paradigm, neither pragmatic, nor practical. Neither is art.

An accident. A messy mistake
that gets in the way of what
you intended to do.
A spill, unintended and so
unnecessary, unwanted at a
time you needed to really get
something done.
Mishaps sink into the paper
and, further, into your psyche.
Now you have to wait and
who has time for that?
The page will dry, but will
it ever be the same?

Begin the day believing
something wonderful will
happen. Not just any day,
but today. It could.
Think of not what could
go wrong, but what will
go remarkably right.
You’ve got all day, what
will happen? What do
you want to happen?
Make it happen.
