today begins and ends.  it's a day with no time.  the sun sets, so i assume the day has journeyed its usual course.  i am almost to my twenty-fourth birthday.  a boy i know just wished me a good year of it for the first time.  i am running out of canvases.  shall i move to the walls and forget about the returned deposit?  i think i'm heading into my usual painting pause.  this is where i begin to read and write.  who knows how long it will be this time. 

"you start out loving something, and you twist it and mar it, find a way to make money at it, and all of a sudden years pass and you've forgotten what you started out loving." 

i missed that quote the other time i happened to stumble across the movie, hope floats.  i realized, at that moment that that is the perfectly summarized reason that i hate thomas kinkade.

during chapel where i taught last year the preacher said he wished all art was like thomas kinkade's, he said abstract art required no skill and was pointless. i silently began writing my resignation. i was stunned- he wanted all people to fit into a thomas kinkade mold, a warm fuzzy exterior with no personality or distinction from the next. --sorry, steppin off my soap box-- love you girl!

my father was a musician, & he scared me from career long before it was ever an option when he said that you won't love what you do once it schedules you. I think thats true for those whom take short cuts & ask what people want as opposed to making what speaks to you & THEN asking where the people whom want it are. The latter tends to take far more time & be quite frustrating, but at least passion still breathes inbetween.

The pastor sounds like someone whom can't put himself in someone elses situation. Not someone I'd like to confide in. My pastor has experienced far less than he can relate with, & I believe its Grace that gives him such an ability.
