Inspiration vs Deadlines

I have many, many things to do.

And by that I mean, "To Do".

they have a time that they are supposed to finished for, a deadline...

but my head, heart and fingers are full of what I want to do...
images I see that I want to paint, or that inspires a painting (which I do not do enough of!), materials I want to make something with, pendants that need stringing, but I lack the right something with which to string them... places that I need to explore.
Inspirational explorations and Deadlines:
those
two
to do lists
are mutually exclusive!!


you could say that I'm frustrated.
pacing my cage like a lion at the zoo... don't get me wrong things are getting done
but
slowly.

no gazelles for me today.
just ground chuck brought to me in a bowl...

how do you cope with frustrated inspiration?
I really need to know.
cheers.

Plans

So it's another sunny day up here on the Plateau above the Columbia River and while the Buffalo are still scarce upon this great grassland (see: none), there are plans for life.
Why talk about my 'plans for life'?
 Why mention the lack of Buffalo?

Why the big scope? Why am I looking at the big picture?
Well.

You see, MRSA has returned to our house, bringing me down, 

And though my days look like this

  I'm going to keep making plans for the future!

Cause, DAMN, MRSA bums me out!

The doctor says that because Zeke's still growing, his immunity falls low sometimes and he can get 'outbreaks' until he's fully grown...

yipee...

Deep Breath.

So today...

I'm going to take joy in small things.

 make big plans

and take comfort in wonderful signs

Though I'm still trying to work out if Doves cuddling against the cold wind outside our house is a good sign or not? In empathy maybe?

And get to work!
