lyrics from Cocteau Twins [fifty-fifty clown]
This week’s chapter of The Artist’s Way has a tough directive: to forego reading for one week.
Yep, I’ll let you let that sink in. I know that you know that reading is my PASSION.
For me, though, there IS something to be gained from this – something that I realized has [...]

“Somewhere near the end it said
”You can’t do this”, I said ”I can too”
Shift sway rivers shift, oceans fall and mountains drift
It’s a Man Ray kind of sky
Let me show you what I can do with it

Step up, step up, step up the sky is open-armed
When the light is mine, I felt gravity pull onto [...]

Lyrics tonight courtesy of The Smiths [well I wonder]
I’ve been going through a tough patch this week – my depression’s been on a tear, as much as depression can get rowdy, I suppose… enough to make me consider upping my Cymbalta dose a couple of times, though I’ve rejected the possibility each time. Honestly, the [...]

I would like to go for a walk three times a week.
I would like to take more photos.
I would like to dance more.
I would like to bring more beautiful things into my home.
I would like to talk to my Mom more often.
I would like to dress prettier sometimes.
I would like to cuddle more with my [...]

“Walk in silence,
Don’t walk away, in silence.
See the danger,
Always danger,
Endless talking,
Life rebuilding,
Don’t walk away.
Walk in silence,
Don’t turn away, in silence.
Your confusion,
My illusion,
Worn like a mask of self-hate,
Confronts and then dies.
Don’t walk away.”
Joy Division [atmosphere]

lyrics from Modern English [ricochet days]
I haven’t been keeping up much with posting my Artist’s Way progress this week, and for that I apologise. This week has been very “heavy” for me, emotionally, and I’ve been wrapped up in some of that work as well as quietly doing this Work in my paper journal.
I [...]
