LIFE IN THE WAY OF ART
We've always heard about "life imitating art" by
right now my thoughts turn to the matter of life
getting in the way of art. I'm doing
laundry right now. Lately it's
become far more apparent just how much life can get
in the way of the enthusiasm to really create
something.
The day before yesterday I was exploring new
Poser figures and morph targets and really got
excited about all the new possibilities and how much
better things could look. Like many success teachers
mentioned, I was in the place where I couldn't wait
to get up the next day and dive back into it. Ideas
were flowing and I wanted to see what could really be
done. I wanted to see how far I could take things.
Unfortunately, when I got up the next day, I had to
go grocery shopping. Well, I had to
go if I wanted to eat that day anyway.
Of course that didn't stop me from eventually getting in there and playing. I mean, it was nearly lunch time when I got around to it, but after lunch I was able to get deeper into exploring. I got so deep that I really couldn't wait to get up and get back to it this morning. Of course, then I realized I had to do laundry. The building I live in doesn't offer washers and dryers in the rooms. I am not even sure washing machines existed when this place was built. There is a room on the other side of the building with washers and dryers and they are few, so one has to get in early. It's also wise to go back and check on your stuff now and again.
These are little things, I know, but they can be huge when it comes to breaking the flow and the excitement of creation. I guess the next interruption will be going to get my passport renewed. That will be worth it though. Then I can go somewhere in Asia and stay in a five star hotel like I did in China. Everything is done for me there. Life can never get in the way of art again!
