Henry and Georgia

So my studio was a mess,

the layout inefficient organized chaos,

has been that way for nine years or more...

but when is the right time to rip apart

"the heartbeat of your business,

the hub center of your home"...

finally late one night can't bear it

another minute...

There really isn't the time for it,

right off Project Pinwheels and

headed into another show series?

But maybe just a little clean out and

repositioning of tables,

how long can that take?

We all know how that goes!

Hmmm?

To move that table,

I am going to have to

clear the room first...

patio works well for the piles

oh, look the exposed floor

need to be scrubbed, and the walls

are marked up and need a paint job...

well there was that idea for

the Georgia O Keefe

orange ladder to "no where" painting

I thought of doing!

But needs a cool background,

how about a new faux finish

greens and yellows?

Using some big woolie pad thing,

oh that's right,

I am not very good at this,

I forgot!

What about a quote also! Yes, words,

but which one of all my faves?

A fan of words on walls this is the fifth one

in my house,

some of which from Dr.Seuss,

Van Gogh and Rilke!

(Love this way to surround one's

world with words!)

Decide on Henry Millers',

poem about living AWARE!

THEN everything has to come back in,

well not everything

just the stuff I plan to use more

than twice a year, maybe that is

limiting creative possibilities

but its not a very big space,

just an extra bedroom, really!

The rest to the garage

hmmm..have to clean out

the garage first

but what to do with all the stuff

already in THERE I don't use.

"hi, St Vincents? I have a pick up for you!"

Three days later,

its again my favorite room.

I can breathe here,

the space feels revitalized

and I feel an openess of

creative energy

already flooding in!

On the wings of Henry and Georgia?

Would like to think so!

Together maybe we will create

images and words from being

"joyously, serenely aware"

and that climb on the orange ladder

takes me "somewhere?"

Like a sky of infinite wonders

and the belief that

anything is possible?

Yeah, maybe that!

Thank you, Georgia and Henry,

in advance!
