Since I last wrote my art room (and my blog) and my relationship have been on hold. Two reasons: an old friend came to visit and to celebrate my birthday. This proved to be a mixed blessing. It was fun to laugh over the old times and painful to face just how far apart we are now on every level. The other reason is a new spiritual path has opened up before me and I find myself following it. Now as I sit in my art room (finally) I realize both my creativity and my relationship have grown in my absence. Funny how that works.
