I got my financing in order so I can start classes again in January.
I believe I've found my general direction; finally, after 40 years - may I prove myself worthy of this opportunity.

Crisp, gentle breezes, the conversations of birds, squirrels, and trees; the smell of fire. Trees and flowers crashing into the sky in a violent kaleidoscopic explosion of color and pattern. Strange booming cars ambling by as the vibrations reverberate throughout the street - a musician's offering to the Universe.

Cultivating new and old friendships with people of all stripes feels like falling in love with the whole of humanity. A miracle for a bona ride recluse like myself!

I'm grateful for gratitude. It's changed me on a biochemical and fundamental level. And I'm grateful for the awareness of those changes.

Naps. A full belly. A day off. Silent reflection. Some perspective. Creative inspiration born of something greater than myself. The freedom and privilege to express it.

Hope. Potential. Humility. Humanity. And something sweet to snack on.
