You come back from a 17 day vacation and wonder,"Who am I?
and what am I doing here?"  Normal.  After all 330 billion of your
cells renew every day, so those are good questions.  You aren't the
person you were when you left.  

My answer?  A timer.  The evidence suggests that I'm a painter.
Come to my studio and you'll see.  Then I put my current (before
I left) painting on the easel, set the timer, and began to paint.
Sometimes the answer is in the action. I paint, therefore I am a
painter. Solved and resolved.

Here is a work in progress that is resonant of where we've just
been in the Maritimes.  It's a work that is close to, but not quite
done.  And I'm working on a commission that will need many
settings of the timer.  Progress is happening, and I know who I
am, and what I'm doing here again. 

Have a loving your life day.
