One of my students made a great painting about isolation. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is blind and can get nose to nose with a piece of art and articulate amazingly about its color and line work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She's also one of the most appreciative people I know about beauty and detail and perspective. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And she's a teenager. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This piece is about isolation too. And she would appreciate it. </div>

I hope she finds this and jumps inside it. </div>

Yes. YOU DO.<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A lot of people say that God won't give you more than you can handle. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I know there are times in life when you do get more than you can handle. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am certain of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think we get help handling it. What lands on us. or happens to us. or happens around us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think we keep walking and somehow someone, and God, they make it possible to walk on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't think He gives us the hard things based on our ability. I think He's part of our ability to move. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the weight is not totally gone. I think that is suffering. or struggle. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I know from experience that suffering is a connector.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A horrible. life changing. painful ...connector. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of all humans. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
HI.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have more things to say.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I was saying them in other places but I like this place. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I am back here right now. or I am in Panera. depends on how you look at it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I suddenly wanted to be here... like a regular at a diner. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which was a severely important goal of mine in college. that I accomplished. But look, we don't all have that kind of work ethic. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to post an old image. because I saw it and wanted to...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YjJj7sRbA_8/XFS5uKQEtwI/AAAAAAAAMg0/H_1De8Y0q6scsMqkbx1qNARWnoLP07vAACLcBGAs/s1600/super%2Bsurreal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YjJj7sRbA_8/XFS5uKQEtwI/AAAAAAAAMg0/H_1De8Y0q6scsMqkbx1qNARWnoLP07vAACLcBGAs/s640/super%2Bsurreal.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and just say that I am thinking about things. All the time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think part of my silence here is because Instagram was invented and it is fast and the writing space is small and less like an open field I have to sprint across and touch every part of.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Personal issue. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But also part is because the current climate has been heavy. Since the election. you know the one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I have been deep in work. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel so fortunate to be an artist. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I feel so strongly that our job as artists, is to make important work. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As human beings it is our job to act.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am trying to make those things happen.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It is terribly powerless to see that children are being caged right here where we live. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And if those semantics are disgusting to you. or intense. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They should be. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And let us pretend that they weren't children but human beings in general. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is still painful. </div>

<br /></div>

I'm on an introspective trek right now because well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because I am a person. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try and figure out why I make things, teach, learn, care about what I am working on...<br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I am noticing that it is consistently about depth.<br />
<br />
and perspective makes all the difference. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What you focus on.<br />
<br />

you can stop at the hard stuff. or the sad. But those things are little (big) gifts that get you past the surface. into the depth where so much beauty and love exists.<br />
<br />
There is only a breath between deep pain and deep joy. </div>

it is about reality. and how to see it.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And while some of my work lives in the imaginary realm, it is rooted in reality.<br />

sometimes real can be. or feel like. the worst.<br />

loss is terribly painful.<br />
<br />
suffering is hard to watch, or feel.<br />
<br />
live longer than 30 seconds and surely you will encounter something terrible.<br />
<br />
sometimes alone. sometimes as a group of people.<br />

I am very disoriented when the leader of this country's government cultivates fear and encourages division.<br />
<br />
I am sad.<br />
<br />
and angry. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
there are still groups that feel they are above others.<br />
and even some that feel hate. </div>

take up your heart. and make sure people know what it is made of.<br />
<br />
Maybe first make sure you know what it is made of.<br />
<br />
I am still figuring that out. but I know part of it is action.<br />
and that is maybe a little part of why I make things.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
great things are possible. and some things are probable. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Focusing on home and making things feel warm is part of being able to focus outside of home </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on things that feel less warm. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I realize that there are places that feel unsafe or unloving or not equal, and I am digesting a lot of the NFL kneeling, the way our leader talks to other world leaders, the hurricanes and earthquakes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It feels unfair and weird to buy pumpkins and feel good about things. But I have learned a few ideas that help. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1- it is possible to have many different feelings at once. my sister preaches this. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2- it is important to fill up on good and wonderful things. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3- it is possible to DO something. So I will keep working on what that looks like too. </div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am on this artistic pursuit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It feels very important to me. and It feels like I am very responsible for so much. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think we all are. responsible for one another. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for making things better. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is why I write and it is how I live. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And often it means I am thinking about where I have been. And where I am trying to get. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never want to stop recording and loving yesterday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I never want to stop throwing hope in the direction of my future. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But man. I am really sitting in the lesson that is the present. </div>

Today my garden has new blooms that it didn't have yesterday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and that it will not have for too long. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unless they are my hydrangeas cause those are exploding. and I can virtually hide in them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ok. I actually can get in them and hide. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and have. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Tonight I am in clean sheets and I have a cold. and I stayed up too late thinking about things. and I just finished ice-cream with sprinkles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and all of those specific things make <b>right now </b>very different from all other times. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because we have it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and because it probably is teaching us something. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am working on patience. so for me. thats probably it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT TOMORROW AT LEAST 12 TIMES SINCE I STARTED WRITING THIS. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it is in my blood. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think sitting in the present is a huge part of learning to trust. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and learning to rest in truth. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I am going to focus on those things. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...after I listen to a few more songs and think about how sweet it is that the world all goes to sleep at night when things get quiet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mean really. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The present has so many glorious little parts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will find more now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and more, tomorrow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So the past few months I have been swimming in LIVE ART work. and the show just happened. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so exhausted and also very full. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The show was wonderful and I will write more about that for sure. soon.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, I have simultaneously been working on other things. finishing school. experiencing challenges. and crawling forward. Things are busy and it is great. but only because we choose to feel the victories. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I choose. to.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
There are times in my life when I am super aware that there are only twenty four hours in a day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now is one of them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am incredibly busy, but with good.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I do know certain things to be very true: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there is a bird in my chimney. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
plastic bins cannot be chairs. falling into one hurts a decent amount.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and coffee right before exercising is a danger. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But so too are bees. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One flew into my face and then landed on the sidewalk. The bee died on my face. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And with that. I close.<br />
