Get out

At times we need to just get out there and walk the dogs, or get the board down and go to the beach.

Since it is summer people want to surf, its not the best surf here in SoCal while it is this time of year. I do want to get back out there and get my board wet, I will have to wait. I still have some medical issues I need to take care of.

In the mean time I have been walking my dogs when I can and doing my belly dancing. It helps, but its not as fun as getting in the water.

To fill the void and get out of the house I have been going to LACMA and other museums to see art and get inspired. I have felt that I end up saying the same things over and over. I try very hard not to do that.

At a recent exhibit I saw that an artist had pretty much the same style from the begging. All of their work had the same look to it. Instead of saying "All this stuff looks a like" the statement seemed to be "this artist has a clear and central theme they have stayed true to", at least that's what I got out of it. The feeling I had when I left was one of hope, that if I stick to my own vision I will be successful.

The next time I get out into the water, I will have to remind myself of that idea.
