Your artist is showing

I haven’t had much work or journalistic inspiration lately, as the urge to be creative -inspiration or muse or whatever you choose to call it- has overshadowed my usual caution. There have also been setbacks and what feel, in the moment anyway, like tragedies. Through it all I’ve got a new motivation, but it’s been difficult to come to terms with what it is.

Summers now are a chance for me to watch my sons run through the sprinkler, the bees buzzing around my herb garden and the dogs chasing squirrels on the powerline above our fence.
