What lasts, lasts - what doesn't, doesn't.
Time solves most things.
And what time can't solve - you have to solve yourself.

Please come back to Brisbane or anywhere in Australia....I don't care where, I'll travel to see you. I need to be sitting in the comfortable darkness in front of you - feeling your fighting spirit and your passion all around me.
It must be ten years since I last saw you.....I miss you.

And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.

Please find enclosed below - two things of beauty that I'm adding to my dream wish-list. I don't want both of course, just one or the other (please & thank-you). Although, while sitting here drooling over the photos and imagining time spent peddling along the beachfront on a sun-shiny day with the wind in my hair - I think I'm leaning more toward La Fonda Del Sol.

Actually....that's what it's called - the Big Book of Contemporay Illustration by Martin Dawber. Finding loads of arty-love - so many talented folk out there doing their thing so that other folk (like me) can spend Sunday afternoon's drooling over their work.

I'm a little behind...well a lot actually, but that's the beauty of the class - you can do it at your own pace and not get detention. In week one we had to write a list of all the negative things our inner critic tells us on the left hand side of our journal.

I know, pretty darn awesome.

Idea of it all is....to write down a few things that are rocking your world at the moment (Hot) and a few things that are making you want to spit in someone's eye or at the very least gnash your teeth a couple of times (Not).
