In this hard and holy job of being and living as an artist, I sometimes have to stop and pull myself away, grab my girlfriend, push her out of her ingenious cocoon and go find a place where perhaps the sun is shinning.
Then, after resting, and walking through those landscapes, and eating, and drinking, and being surrounded by dear family and friends – like at the beautiful birthday I just had – we can come back knowing a bit more about breathing and seating properly in order to have no headaches or back pains.
I will also keep reminding myself that I am on a mission, like Patti Smith says on the book I’m now reading “It is impossible to exaggerate the sudden calm I felt. An overwhelming sense of mission eclipsed my fears. (…) I felt in full possession of myself.(…) I would be an artist. I would prove my worth.”
