I'm crushed to pointlessness by what I see and hear."<BR/><BR/>I'm not telling you anything you don't know, but its the silliness and happiness and making an effort to be aware of what is going on without sucking in the despair of it all that makes things better for you and those around you. What you do, with your art, your sharing of thoughts and ideas, and your participation in things like the upcoming Balticon is what is important about life: making a connection, sharing a bit of yourself with those you come in contact with, inspiring others to take chances, to create, to live. Don't be hard on yourself. Do be silly. And use your other hand for the finger for awhile!Carl V.

I don't read the blog for a few days, and when I come back you've become the before and after of a Cat In the Hat balancing act(complete with goldfish in bowl at the top). <BR/><BR/>I hope you take it easy, and let yourself heal. You seem, to me anyway, a bit like a caged animal at times... let's hope you can resist the urge to ratle the bars long enough to convalesce properly. <BR/><BR/>Almost breaking your wrist at a convention while slipping on a piece of your own making (did I read that right?) is the universe's way of telling you that it can royally screw you at any time it wants to... so slow down. (Or its just having fun at your expense. Either way, get better.)Derek Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555485192723965604noreply@blogger.com
