"We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden."
Lest my soul harden.
So here I am to declare that you can return to something you love even though you feel like you are sputtering through a season or two or three or four trying to remember your voice. Here I am even though two birthdays went un-noted ---- jnetsworld turned 8 and then 9. Life has been profoundly heart breaking and heart building these past couple of years.
I've cleared out house, sat in the silent space, had friends visit bearing gifts and pails of paint. Thank you for your voice. It's what brings me back.
JNET

RICHARD: "My beautiful and talented friend. Again, I must tell you how well you write, but of much more importance than that, how very proud I am to “know” someone like you. You have such fine judgment, your values are impeccable and you seem dedicated to your art. As you know, choosing a life of creativity is not without its pitfalls. However, you do not need my advice and will find your way. You know I wish you well, Richard."
