After being away from my studio work for a couple of weeks, it felt wonderful to end most of my days this week with paint covered hands, pastels smeared across my cheek and charcoal remnants on my shirt.  It was the therapy I needed most.

The Real Work
It may be that when we no longer know what to do
We have come to our real work.
And that when we no longer know which way to go
We have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.
-Wendell Berry
