distraction

lately I have been needing a distraction
from myself.

my thoughts are of the past
my body is in the present
and my dreams are of the future.

i found a way for them { my thoughts, body and dreams } to collide.

painting.

is is like an escape to the present
gently forcing me into this beautiful reality called
life.

i love it.

at first, i immediately felt embarrassment...
why?
it looked like a little boy had conjured up that mess called "art"...

but now...
now it excites me!

i love blending colors
contrasting color levels
putting in unnoticeable details...

and calling it mine.

this is my distraction from my daydreams...

art is my reality.
