Dec 2015

Shingles have sunk me to below my basement level emotionally. I have been essentially drained of my abilities to write and create.

But I will go forward and try and still write.

I am focusing on George Bellows because I feel his boxing series has some deeply moving resonance for our society today. More to come as i develops out of my senses...

the pain is out of my control, which I understand, so I try within my capabilities as they are, not was I wish they would be...thank you for your understanding...
