Today during my daily reading of Marmunia, Aly posted this quote (hope you don't mind I borrowed):

To feel confident and successful is not natural for the artist. To feel insufficient, to experience disappointment and defeat in waiting for inspiration is the natural state of mind for an artist. As a result, praise to most artists is a little embarrassing. They cannot take credit for inspiration, for we can see perfectly, but we cannot do perfectly. Many artists live socially without disturbance to mind, but others must live the inner experience of mind, a solitary way of living. - Agnes Martin

Reading this washes sadness over my soul, yet again, as I personally feel and agree with what Agnes has to say.

On a lighter note, I feel really glad and personally satisfied with the achievement of having some influence at work to do good in other cities.

Excited and anxious for our move to Oakland. I have been admitted into CCA. Although I knew this in March, I am posting now because I've been a bit somewhat lazy to post.
