Who wants to die with their stories still inside?

I believe in intuitions and inspirations...

I sometimes FEEL that I am right.

I do not KNOW that I am.

I normally make art during the evenings

but lately, i've felt a tug towards the art table

in the morning.

i'm learning to trust the tugs a little more

as i get older...

This collage/painting took less than an hour to complete

and i love it. It's exactly the feeling i was looking for.

(the floor boards and the dots are paint and marker,

the stove and wood are collage)

I wrote something years ago

and this little painting on paper was created

with that poem in mind.

This is how i see both painting and writing together on the page...

i make sense of the world

through art and stories.

Some of the little stories I write

are happy, others are sad,

and they are all based

on life experiences.

You all get a sneak peek (2 pages) of the kind of book

i'd eventually love to share with the world.

There's so much work to be done

and still so many questions

but i'm confident it's all gonna happen

in due time.

Patience, perseverance, and hard work.

They tell me these things matter

when we're following our dreams...

I trust they're right. :-)

oh, and here's the mess on my table

after my morning session.

Tim Horton's coffee.

An important part of a well balanced breakfast.

Especially if you're Canadian.

...tee hee hee... 

And here's one of the many reason i believe

stories are important:

Because they change people.

Especially stories like this one.

When I watched this documentary last week,

Himalaya: Le chemin du ciel

(Himalaya: Path to the Sky)

I was reminded

that the whole world doesn't revolve around me

and that sometimes,

my priorities may need a shift.

I was reminded that the greatest lessons in life

are often found in far away places...

and that sometimes in life,

we just need to make our hearts strong -

Here's the trailer for the film.

I hope you like it...
