"Your work is to discover your work
and then with all of your heart to give yourself to it."

“By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions,

Refuge III: Heat

one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination.”

                                                            -Christopher Columbus

Despite the fact that I am steadfast and dogged in the studio, and have given my heart to it, I am absurdly vulnerable to distractions.
The internet is a huge enticement: the illusion of accomplishment in browsing news websites etc.
Piano; I can spend hours practicing, and I'm nearly up to the third grade level!
Reading; It can consume the entire day, even though I'm trying to stick to pin-pointedly relevant books.
Gardening; now that it's finally warm and the black flies are gone!
Writing on my blog; what does it all add up to anyway?
And other humans. That's not entirely about procrastination.
It's about community, genuine interest in others and the human core in all of us. Or at least in me.
A little bit about believing their needs are more valid than mine.
Did O'Keeffe think that? Definitely NOT.
Now I am headed to the easel.
