Quote I've been practiceing meditation, setting medition and Chi Gong. I find it intesting that the quiet and the peaceful place you go while meditating, feels somewhat like the place you go into while creating art. Nothingness but yet somewhere. present but not. All artist know of this place we go while creating. We call it the zone. Where we are not aware of time. The focus is so intense that your not even aware of yourself painting. The brush seems to take on a life of its own. Hours can go by but it seems like minutes. The Eastern religions talk about artist and creativity and the zone.

Hard to believe that Kayla has been in College for over half of her senior year. She has grown so much since last sping when she graduated from high school. She is majoring in religous studies and the transformation and watching her grow has been wonderful to watch. She is home for spring break already, she will be through with her freshman year of College in just a couple of months. Its good to hear her laugh again and to see that sparkle in her eyes. Life is unfolding as it should.

She said, that was a present mom and it would be like being an Indian giver. I agreed with that but told her no furniture. She agreed to that also. I told her when she went out the door, my responsibilities would be over. She would be responcible for her own food, clothing, rent, laundry, soap, everything. She said she new that. With every obstacle I put in front of her she took calmly. She said mom I'll have you and dad over for dinner. I just stood there and said uh huh. She said, Mom I'll still come over and help you in the yard. I said, sure. I said promise me you will go to college this fall like ...

I rode down to Texas with Bill last week he had a show to attend regarding his software. So I went along to see my daughter and grand kids. Ended up had a great visit. Avery and Benjamin had grown alot. Jamie showed me around Austin and I spent the night with her one night. To short a visit though. Here is some pics of them and us. We got to see the bats fly out at sunset under the congress bridge. That was an amazing site to see. Austin is still growing and it is a beautiful city.

I've been making cup cakes for my daughters halloween party tomorrow night. Its her last year at home as she graduates from high school. Halloween has always been her favorite time of the year. Its kind of sad though as she will be celebrating this time of the year else where probably next year. Happy halloween everyone.
