Big Days Call For Big Thank Yous

Big days.  Days that hold great promise or great regret.  Days that begin with great hope but the end cannot be known.  Being an artist makes every day a big day.   You can make art but there is always a very real possibility that you will just make stuff.  The world has enough stuff; that’s why the storage business is so big, our houses can’t hold all our stuff so we rent stuffing space.  But art, oh art, there is so very little of it and every full moon, every smooth river stones, every kiss of our lover demands we attempt art.  It is one of the few sincere ways we can say, “thank You!”  Big days require big thank You’s!
