am, everything you have been posting has been so fine, and very moving to me. The boy, the horse, Orion's belt - so poignant, so eloquent. "This isn't working, is it?" is, in its own way, very communicative and eloquent. It has, somehow, worked. And on and on it goes.

Something seems to be stirring in you. As I read your post about how you have worked creatively in your blog space more than in your studio, I find myself wondering if you can use the blog as a gentle way of getting back into the studio. Perhaps you feel a little intimidated by the studio and what it represents. You are very at home at the blog, however, and - as you note - very productive here. Perhaps you can come and go between the two, as feels right for you. Perhaps too you can use the blog to encourage yourself.

You could start with something small and informal in the studio, if you wish, but still publish polished work at the blog. One need not exclude the other. Perhaps you can have a working relationship between the two.

Blessings on you and on all your work, wherever you will pursue it.
