Last night...after a busy work session in the dish pit....I stepped out back, and looked up to see this....
Spring is coming, up here in the mountains...and already a fourth of my time here is over....and I am thinking of what will happen to me in the near future...WHO KNOWS? I t has been good for me to get this outside of my comfort zone, which has, for some reason, been so important to me...guess it is where I've needed to be...But I see that there is value in being shook up, and a chance to try on other parts of your persona, to reinvent yourself....I want to learn to be truly confident, even when all about me is chaos and change, and strange people, and different customs...that is true confidence....
There have been changes to this place since I was last here....including this porch...and they got this sculptor, who I found out, is from North "Cacalacky", to do this instalation...Some of you may have seen his work in various magazines...His name eludes me at this second....(My apologies to him...)..It lends a strange and surreal presence to the porch...as if a crazy, and confused bird had decided to take up residence here....
Time to go and put in some overtime at the studio...been working alot of extra hours for other people, so it is time to catch up...
But before I go....a SHOUT OUT to miss Fisher....
...
yer legacy lives on!!

i have found
when you
truly
put yourself
outside
you emerge
(after a
hell of a lot
of self-doubt)
so much
more
confident
than
ever before...
and
each time
it's easier
and
easier
to be
outside
that
comfort zone.
you should
be damn
proud of
yourself...
most people
*never*
take
those
kinds
of risks.
keep
a stiff
upper lip
as mutti
would say.
xo
sounds awesome.
its always these uncertain,
precarious transitional times
that in retrospect seem
the most magical.
enjoy the chaos.
Hey---I know who that artist is!...the woven branches guy. He does great stuff....and his name eludes me, too. His stuff kicks ass, especially the REALLY BIG, free-standing installation sculptures he's done. Saw it in a magazine somewheres.....
I need the comfort-zone shake up, too. Who wouldn't want to be confident in any situation? I certainly can't manage that right now....spent too much time holed up in ye 'ol cabin this winter.
What I really like about the shake-up, is looking back at the (repressed? uncertain?) comfort-zone-locked previous You and understand how much you've opened up...getting that perspective.
Open up, little sidecar flower.
Ha, ha.

Long live the panties!!!!!
