I am glad Indie. When I think about art in the context of mental illness, especially since I have been meditating et. al..... I have begun to see a parallel between art and meditation. Art is meditation. It absorbs and focuses the artist on one thing, the art. Artist have a relationship with the art they create. When creating art nothing else matters. Nothing else clogs the brain. Even when the art doesn't work out like the artists expects just the process of making art... the mindfullness of the process provides the artist a release, a separation from those things outside of the art.

Meditative art. I don't work until noon tomorrow. I think I will do something artistic. Maybe go out to my garden and take some pictures. I have been putting it off for way too long. Yup.... tomorrow will be picture day.

Another thing I can do tomorrow is go into work early enough to walk through the garden and maybe take pics there too. Yup.... time to turn to beauty for support.

Sorry for turning things back to me. I appreciate you being here to inspire me to decide to put my feet in forward motion again.

What is that saying.... it doesn't matter how you fall but rather how you get back up. Or some version of that idea.

Keep looking up my friend. I will try to do the same.
