No Update, Home Healing

I missed out this week because some shrimp got the better of me. So, my planned update on recent work has turned into insight into the importance of flexibility and regrouping.
I spent time on the computer, but I also stayed in bed resting. We tend not to take the time to heal. I am speaking in general; although, I am sure we can all apply this to our lives. I had time to read some books that gave me new ideas for projects. I found that I still love to read in bed-something I rarely do with a 3 year old ruling the house. Reclaiming parts of ourselves is important for artists who tend to live wearing more hats than most. And we need to feed that piece with a lot of nothingness.

Gloria Stein said something to the effect of, "To be a real genius, you have to do nothing, really nothing."

Go read. Go rest. Go be genius.
