i haven't done ANY art for a month. unless you count some silly doodles on a paper "coaster" and a sketch for experimenting with some new water colors i bought over the weekend. my urge to create is interesting. i like to try and understand the waves of it... usually after a show.... i cut myself some slack.... breathe deep and just don't think about making anything for a  while. well, it's been "a while" and the last few days i feel like a tea kettle... that's been simmering for 3 days.... but never quite whistling. i woke up really early today... went for a long walk around the lakes rehashing the last month... and since i sat down at my desk today... i've been plotting my escape. i can't wait to get home. i want to paint so bad it's making me restless and antsy. 
thresholds are interesting aren't they. catalysts of all kinds. 
not just in science but in our work... our  hearts, our minds and our relationships.  

last straws... boiling points.

SINCE FEELING IS FIRST
e.e. cummings


since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
- the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for each other; then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis
