clarity in the deep

watercolor, derwent inktense, on 300GSM rough paper

I am standing by my choice three years ago. I thought I could compromise but I couldn't. I have to be certain. I have to be clear.

So life may be a tougher and tighter a little while longer. But I don't mind. I have my books, my writing, and my art. I can feel the love of my family. I can feel the support of true friends.

Inspiration surrounds me everyday. There is so much around me that bring me joy and they don't cost a single centavo. Because they have been mine all along. Or they have been free for the taking all along.

London is still happening. Maybe not in the most obvious way. But it is happening. The Doctor and Sherlock agree on it.

This is a portion of a piece that I just finished tonight. I was supposed to be getting ready for bed because I was starting to feel a bit nauseous from having to stay in front of the computer for a whole day and sorting through lots of video and written data.

But my fingers were itching and I couldn't stop seeing colors in my head. So I got the little sketchbook where I drew Ganesha and started drawing again. In my head were images of brick walls and water crashing through and maps. I saw air and water elements, and a compass.
