    Hi ..by the way i love your new small square…clouds. Beautiful colors. cannot imagine the time and detail you put in. Lovely. Hey you might enjoy this artist. His work reminds me of yours. http://www.speronewestwater.com/exhibitions/emil-lukas/installations

    People look for their passions. But often the passions find you.

    How does your passion find you? When you are good at something, you get passionate about it. That’s it.

      Thanks so much for your comment. I just spent some time exploring Emil Lukas on the link you provided, his work is amazing! I’m flattered that you find a similarity between his work and mine. In watching the video, I could really relate to him as a person, and as an artist. I also admire his approach and his art. Many thanks for sharing, I will be sure to keep him on my radar.

      I agree with what you say about passion, to be capable of living passionately often feels like being filled with a force that finds you, or that enters you from the outside. Though I would venture to say that one’s capability of living passionately can be strengthened; finding a vehicle for passion is a way to exercise it. But one can also simply engage with life on a day to day basis with passion, believe that they are capable of creating change, either in themselves, or in another.

      Thanks again for your comment, always nice to have an exchange

    Thank you for your summary of K’s “Concept of Anxiety.”

    Your contribution is especially timely given the trending conversations regarding “anxiety disorder.”

    I’m looking forward to reading your posts, since they have enduring value.
