Enough, I thought, and began to consciously find ways to defeat all that--shut it down, and have at a session of no thinking--or no mind. I began to just scribble for long lengths of time. The useless thought processes abated eventually, leaving only those humming sounds, and a deteriorated piece of paper shining with graphite and going fast. I never knew if the result was art, but it sure imbued my life with a sense of having done something vital. This is starting to sound blogworthy--perhaps I'll continue it over there with some visuals. Meantime, your idea about moving with the sounds of a cricket cacophony are way cool. I'm liable to try that too. What an adventure. We'll compare notes.

I am just anxious to be done with these pills. I'm sure my complaints will disappear. The achy side effect of the medication is well known. They wanted to put me on another pill to take care of the side effect,but I turned it down. Enough is enough. I'll wait it out. <br /><br />Your promotion was clever and charming. it was sweet of you to reward the runner ups. Artwork Notes are a good idea. I've designed my own to use for all occasion cards.

I might have to make a CD this summer when the crickets sing by the thousands in the woods behind our house. That would be cool. I think I'd allow my pen to move with the sounds on its own with no thinking. Is that what you did? <br /><br />Me and saplings and dead, fallen trees and grasses were tied together in some other world. I feel at home with those forms. The joy shows in the colors, which were close to primary. Subliminal signs?

Now that my knee is fixed and I stopped taking Celebrex, an anti inflamatory that upset my stomach, it seems the knee was just one of my arthritic problems. Joint aches have become very noticeable. I'm hoping those will go away when I am finally free of that anti-estrogen pill I'm taking as the last of my cancer treatments--unfortunately that doesn't happen till next year(joint pain is a side effect of Arimidex). Until then, I'm always on the move. Sitting still is not good for osteoarthritis; rigamortis sets in. (The depletion of estrogen increases joint pain as every woman knows who is post menopausal. What a shite design we girls have). I am lucky I have a high tolerance for pain.<br /><br />My winter path to the lake is a lot more colorful than the truth. I'll attempt it again today to see how my mood has changed. We're snowed in. I thought I'd take a jaunt out there and take a few photo sketches of this same path. I'm at home at my easel when contemplating the woods. Tree forms fascinate me, but then they are sculptural, my first love.
