The Adventures of Paisley
Blue
It turns out that I should
have listened to my body a little better. The pain as I walked, the
fact that I needed a cane, and the refusal of my foot to feel better
led me to the inevitable conclusion that I needed to see a doctor.
He advised bedrest for a few days, taking me off work until
Saturday. Sometimes I can be stubborn, I suppose. I am glad I
finally went to the doctor and confirmed that something was, in
fact, wrong and needed to be taken care of... thanks CB, for your
encouragement.
Yesterday as I rested in our tiny room, I
finished a book I had been reading, then decided to draw. I felt
very inspired, and that came through in the pictures I created. It
was a wonderful rush to feel that creative energy flowing through me
from the crown of my head to my fingertips, and out through the ink
onto the paper. Each picture was almost like an act of worship, a
spell which will bind me with the viewers of this art from now on.
To me, that's pretty heady stuff. I find that one of my biggest
hopes is that my artwork will survive for centuries, like
Michaelangelo and daVinci.
I don't ask for much, do I?
I also began writing a story that I hope to have published
in the Widdershins newspaper for Yule. At this point I am trying to
center it around a pagan family dealing with the issues of Christmas
and Yule. If it gets published, I will certainly be providing a link
to it from my website.
Well, that's all my big news for now.
I just want to add that I have been very happy the last several
days. Spending time with my husband has been wonderful, and I would
not have missed any of it for the world. He is such a good man, a
patient, caring, and affectionate man. Sometimes I wish those who
wish to disrupt our lives and happiness would just leave us alone.
We do not want to hurt anyone. We are pretty harmless, as far as
that goes. We just want to live in peace.
