    This is so timely for me. I’m just about to pick up a pencil and start drawing again after 25 years. I’m a bit scared of what I am going to find there … I think it will be very therapeutic indeed, but sometimes therapy uncovers some ghouls …

    This, however, is much more amazing and wonderful! Isn’t he beautifull

    He is beautiful and he inspires me! The conventional thought process is that we much choose our direction in our youth and stay on course. Nothing new is attempted; nothing new is learned; nothing new is accomplished. But time and time again, people prove that is not TRUE and research shows that to ward off diseases of the mind, we must expose ourselves to new things.

    Enter the therapy of art! Expand yourself! I am right there, shaking in my boots, with you. But it is time to jump off the cliff, don’t you think? We might just discover we have wings and can soar with the best of them.

    Very cool. And my first ballet teacher laughed at me because I was 22! Good for him!
