I think I got my first standing ovation tonight

I don't like the idea of "chasing dreams". If they are truly your dreams, then there is no need to chase. You don't chase what you have. Chasing dreams is like a dog chasing its tail. The task is to stand perfectly still. To have the strength to hold on and trust that it will come and bath you like the rising sun. To borrow a quote, "Assuming that this planet rotates, I'll just procrastinate until the day I bump into my soulmate..." Though I'm not talking about soul-mates here. Far from it. I think about it and I want to describe dreams in metaphor. I want to say dreams are like being stuck in a glass tank surrounded by ocean and filling up with water. The water is rising up your body and your heart is telling you to just relax and go with it. But as the water gets higher and higher, you panic and look for a way out, using all of your strength to push at the door. It doesn't budge.

I got third place at the poetry slam tonight :D

Title - Live Painting in Red Medium - paint pen, aquaerosol on framed wood Dimensions - 4' x 3' Suggested Price - SOLD This is another live painting done at Train of Thought . I pre-painted the background and then painted the figure live on stage. WANT TO COMMISSION A PIECE? <|3

My pockets are empty along with my gas tank but something happened tonight that's left me full of smiles.

A lovely flower is meant to be in the sun and cared for. When snipped and kept inside for her beauty, the flower will wither with time.

Without sleep, mornings have a richer flavor and yet today the sun is so light I can barely taste it.

Today I followed a beautiful butterfly around for several minutes. It was quite large and the markings were amazing. It was mostly yellow with bits of blue and red at bottom of the wings. I tried my best to get very close without scaring it away as it fluttered around. It inspired a new painting before it finally flew over the fence and into the sky. Thank you butterfly. <|3
