revolve

            My favorite Radiohead song comes to mind when I look at this picture. Some of the lyrics:

"And this just feels like spinning plates
I'm living in cloud cuckoo land
And this just feels like spinning plates
My body is floating down the muddy river."

I could not be more in love with creating lately. With the adventure of it, with the silliness that comes with being a self-portrait artist, with the unknown. With creating and failing (I think I've hit a record high this last month), and with watching your imagination spring to life right before your eyes. 

I asked my friend recently why she gave up on being an artist, and she said that nothing she ever tried worked out. I realized then a common trait that a lot of artists have - it is the ability to see small successes as big triumphs, and the way determination cuts through the failures and speaks to us gently, telling us that our visions will come to life someday. Do you notice that about yourself? I think we have a real penchant for failure, in the best way!

I'm not quite sure what I'll shoot today or when, since I'm fostering the world's cutest doggy for a couple weeks and he has me on full time duty here, but something creative will come of today and it will be glorious for my soul.
