focus, letting go

had a funny experience of getting sidetracked this weekend. virtuously i'd planned to do illustrations for my book. then got that email forwarded from the fine art site. a young woman wrote saying she loved my art and wanted to do a paper on me for college and she sent seven questions about art - would i answer them?. so i spent a day answering questions about art - my process, artists i like etc. sent them off. no answer. sent a follow up. no answer. did i just do a take home exam for someone? or?? did it occur to me to ask her more about the project first? no. my ego was inflated and I got sidetracked and took a ride. no matter. my focus is to complete the drawing for my book by the time i go to uk. easy to look at the time line and alot x amount for each drawing. at the same time life is fluid, unpredictable and lively. i hang onto my intention as i'm being pulled through the swirling currents of life. having fun.
