don't know that i feel like writing a bunch of words right now. it's just that i am a little excited about constantin brancusi. his artwork is so simple. i think that is the ultimate secret of life; the simplicity and elegance of a brancusi sculpture. my other half and i recently cleaned out our home. we were having friends over for bastila. the oven ended up not working and over 5 1/2 hours of work went down the drain. is there any way to stay positive with that one? it was a lesson on how hard or how much we plan things...things simply don't turn out the way we desire. life is desiring. accepting is my ultimate goal. i've been a planner for years. i have no intention of trying to convince people to latch onto my belief systems. i simply believe what i believe because, ultimately, i want a life of ease. i don't want a bunch of struggling. i don't want a bunch of negativity. i want to go with the flow of life and surrender to the beauty of the universe. i have a lot of creative juices running through my being. sometimes, i cannot even control it. the creativity just comes out of me. i love expression. i think that's what i desire the most in this life. to express myself. i know i am not like the rest of the world. dramatic kinda? i was eating lunch at arclight restaurant with some girlfriends. they so simply stated "oh, yes, you have the artist mentality." that's what i love most about the city of angels. they get me here. artists make a good living here. they also...well....i can only speak of my own personal experiences. i feel like they get me here. or, maybe i'm at the point in my life where i value myself more and i understand myself more. there's lots i have to learn in life. i'm curious about becoming eldery. does the wisdom keep adding up? hmmmm.....i'd have to say i'm not a fan of many people. but, the expression of constantin brancusi is something the revs me up. what i call SPARK. i think we all have human beings who have inspired us in this existence. i used to work at an independent movie theater. i was tearing tickets and an elderly woman and i started up a conversation about brancusi. she practically screamed at me "you must always use simplicity in your art". i understand what she means. i don't think at the time i understood this. breathe in and out. i don't understand everything. that's why simplicty is key.
