the hard part is actually asking.

truth! well, fwiw art, past few days i've been up against it myself in a major way, feeling incoming catalyst from many directions and at such a depth that i've needed to resort to large helpings of corner-store pizza and long bike-rides to deal. that, plus lots and lots of journal writing -- which i now do with a #2 pencil and a real notebook, as i find the act of manually writing my words enacts more fully the feeling of physically crystallizing fresh insights.

if it wasn't clear to me before that the price of spiritual growth is in-your-face catalyst, it is now. what's cool about finding your post here is that i feel a heightened sense of camaraderie with a cyber-peep, and with it, an uptick of courage to keep up the good work of learning to be here with personal integrity, while sending you these thoughts in passing.

take care.
