We often call ourselves artists when people ask what we do, but how many of us recognise just what that means? Being an 'ordinary' person and scheduling your time for things doesn't work--- we have to wait until 'it is time'. Even if that means staying up till 4am. I'm slowly coming to terms with the idea that I'm not being dramatic when I say 'I'm an artist, it's just how we do things'- it's true. We're aligned with a force that stretches beyond clocks and boxes.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552220520085713818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290332160821152086.post-4857739522446328982010-02-25T19:35:16.711-08:002010-02-25T19:35:16.711-08:00Thank you for sharing this.

Poor things are only trying to survive but they get shot at quite often. Its not their faults that their territory is shrinking.<br /><br />Shayla, you gotta love them :-)<br /><br />Leslie, it was indeed a very relaxing day. <br /><br />Chris, me is the best way to be ..... I could set that to music.<br /><br />Pamela, I never give gifts inside the house. Sometimes things happen to be resting outside in the courtyard if there is a natural food shortage. If the trees are full of fruit, "things" don't rest in the courtyard.<br /><br />Thanks Lisa at Greenbow, I had fun.<br /><br />Jo, it is so easy to get lost in the details ... like your bark photographs.<br /><br />Donna, yes I knew you would gravitate to the stones!<br /><br />Penny, my art output also depends on the weather. Roll on Autumn!<br /><br />Catherine V. Bainbridge, glad you enjoyed them.<br /><br />Karin, often I re-read things and find wisdom I wasn't ready for during the first read or I find words that have more meaning in different phases of my life,<br /><br />Oogleboops, this time he really did help himself .... promise!<br /><br />Lisa :-)<br /><br />Jacky, I'm sure your way will be more comfortable than someone else's way..... or if you can find the balance between ....<br /><br />Seth, the words are calming aren't they. I suppose they give one permission to just be.<br /><br />Blu, if you gave yourself permission to play, my work is done :-)<br /><br />Thanks Ro.<br /><br />Suki, from now on I will always think of you when Pippi Longstockings comes up.<br /><br />Kimmie, the world does seem much smaller since I started blogging.<br />Thank you for following.<br /><br />Mary Ann, visit any time :-)<br /><br />Roxanne, "today I will work in rhythm with myself" .....so important!<br /><br />Jeane, I just found another book by Hugh Prather. My wish list is getting out of control again.<br /><br />Neva, a blast from the past .... enjoy!<br /><br />Marilyn, I'm so surprised at how many people know his writing.<br /><br />Lucky Dip Lisa, it doesn't reflect the fact that I hate dusting however :-)<br /><br />Teri, as long as they are good memories!<br /><br />Melanie, I'm so happy that JustOneCow is alive and well!<br /><br />HHnB, that is the only good thing about the really hot days..... getting out the books and idea books.<br /><br />DJ, a happy little bandit!<br /><br />Outside the lines, thanks so much!<br /><br />Cat, good question ..... "what am I inspired to do today?"<br /><br />Curio, I'm loving the love :-)<br /><br />Kim, go on .... its time for a photo safari.<br /><br />Cathy, keeping a quote book or journal is really inspiring.<br /><br />Cynjon, glad you enjoyed the tour.<br /><br />Amelia, blogging has opened so many doors and windows.<br /><br />Mansuetude, I can assure you a monkey has no problem with walking straight into your house .... or swinging, running, leaping, jumping, sneaking .... you name it, they've tried it.<br /><br />Zoe, the monkey says thanks!<br /><br />Shimmeringshack, and yet we do need to be reminded over and over again.<br /><br />Caroline, as long as the hunger pangs are kept at bay!<br /><br />Don, glad you enjoyed the visit.<br /><br />Kenda .... and in Autumn it is perfect!<br /><br />Vineeta, what a great thing to say. Thank you.<br /><br />Velma, that's what monkeys do....they crack me up all the time too.ArtPropelledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853722164314994360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290332160821152086.post-55053047753705186772010-02-24T15:17:34.181-08:002010-02-24T15:17:34.181-08:00nifty to enjoy your space like this. that monkey c...nifty to enjoy your space like this. that monkey cracked me up!Velma Bolyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12446502295849533888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290332160821152086.post-45006840058359199522010-02-24T07:28:19.492-08:002010-02-24T07:28:19.492-08:00I have read Hugh Prather many years ago as a colle...I have read Hugh Prather many years ago as a college kid.

I find quotes fascinating too but have never thought about having a place to record them all. What a good idea.
