Wednesday 10th October

It was a fantastic day yesterday we took Ralph to the beach and got some fresh air. The mountian was out which always is so special to see.

Then I got stuck into painting the toilet. I have about 1 or 2 more days for it to be finished.

We bumped into Stefano and invited him up for dinner it was yummy we had steak with loads of fresh vegies.

We watched Die Hard 4 its a pretty cool movie.

When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. And what is it to work with love? It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth.

Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Words of Wisdom

My Message for the day was: Penetrating our loving gardianship is impossibe for any negative forces to do.

"Hi, I'm Christopher. I'm an artist." Exhale, run my fingers through my hair. "What do I do? Oh, I paint. I'm a painter. Yeah, I'm an artist." I tried it out every now and then, in front of the bathroom mirror. It sounded all right. But when I introduced myself as an artist outside my bathroom world of make-believe, I always felt false. I was like Magritte labeling a pipe. If I said I was an artist, I was an artist, right? Not exactly. Since I dedicated forty-plus hours a week to my corporate graphic design job, I was lucky if I painted a couple of hours a week. I came to despise myself for this self-deceit, for my inability to embrace what I really wanted to be. I wanted to be an artist. So I committed myself to becoming one.
