  •    Have you noticed that I’m not very good at this? I am kind of disorganized right now, a little creativity here- a brick wall there. Everything makes me cry this week, and I have absolutely refused to finish an important painting.    Locked up tight, not telling myself why, not really sure what happened…

  • Where do I disappear to, when I stop creating? Inert. Inept. Inconsequential and inconsolable. I know I will be with her soon, I feel a withering inside. A withdrawal from the actual. An inward turning, accepting that I am finite. That, perhaps, I did not survive the whirlwind physically unscathed. Yet they find no marks…

  • IT’S HOT, I’M TIRED..    Night fell, and we were ready by Burt’s golden chariot. What an amazing vehicle it was. Huge, glistening, bearing his name proudly on the door in script as the owner/operator. This was no drugged-out short-timer. No, Mr. Burt was the real deal, hauling real steel. A true gentleman, he helped…
