Today

Cheryl is helping with the collection. It's good having company in the back room.

This week's observation

There's a hunger I feel -- more like a longing -- that I've been confusing with actual hunger. But it lives more in my "heart center" rather than in my belly. I've been trying to satisfy it with food, with smoking, with alcohol, with shopping. The only thing that really satisfies it is to be fully engaged.

Pay attention. I've heard that from three sources this week. I'm thinking this is a good idea.

A quote from the movie Magnolia

Jimmy Gator: The book says, "We might be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us." 

Jan Ru

I love hanging out with Jan Ru. I helped her set up her exhibition at UNCW and she helped me look at my life differently. It's time to tell stories about the work I make and see how all of the things I do relate to each other.
