Lessons of our heroes – Or watching the Agnes Martin Movie

Inevitably, whenever we watch one of our heroes speak of their process, our inclination is to feel as if we have failed on some level and will never achieve even a minimally comparable level of success – either within our work or in the world at large.  We realize that we already took the wrong pathContinue reading “Lessons of our heroes – Or watching the Agnes Martin Movie”

No apologies.. I’m a White Girl from Long Island.

… And I love the blues. Cause I got the blues just like anyone else got the blues. But this white girl always had this little nagging thing in the back of her head. Not poor enough, not rich enough, not smart enough, not pretty enough, not ugly enough, not thin enough, not fat enough,Continue reading “No apologies.. I’m a White Girl from Long Island.”

Quiet

It’s been quiet lately. Not too much activity on the wild best side of things I must say. Overwhelmed maybe? There are a lot of things going on in the world. There’s that ferguson Missouri thing, the Obama takes on the immigration thing, the walmart doesn’t pay enough and makes their workers work on thanksgivingContinue reading “Quiet”
