Optimism

St Paul by T Moore

My son is a doer.. he wants to do everything! As he grows he is learning first hand that we have to make choices. These are hard lessons for him, nothing i need teach him, because he desires to learn so much, he simply runs out of time and has to choose..

and yes, i get it..

I will need a hundred life times to complete my to do list / i ache too, to do it all; to practice glazing until true luminosity reveals itself, to dance with technique, to dance with abandon, to cook, to parent.. to laugh harder and more often, to fly with the wind and not just visit but really live.. not just to dabble, but to travel the interiors of these many arts, to learn them in more detail and with more depth, to practice along side the masters.. to experience and learn more..

life lessons, always growing..


Probably more suited to Michaelmas, I found this among my sons papers at his desk with his homework..


Always refreshing, the optimism of youth..

my son, the seeker..

  4. He has the basics and is ready for more; indeed is seeking it himself. Life will never be boring for either of you.

  5. I love your son's cartoon story and can sympathise with him and you in the need to do eveything but the fact that we can't!

  6. Your longings -- and your son's -- ring true. It takes so long to come to a place of enough, of satisfaction.

  8. what a fun sketch! I can so relate - as well as when you discuss glazing - is this in painting or pottery? glazing in painting has become a challenge for me at this time in a very personal way

  9. Yes painting - its many years since I explored the magic of glazing for fire and kiln, n art all it's own.. But today I explore the ancient lore and modern technique of glazing with paints, tempura, acrylic, perhaps one day oils..
