TIME

 



Time is lost, saved, borrowed and often, a river.  Some times it's  stolen or of the essence.  I am finding it to be surprisingly elastic as well.

When I left the Torpedo Factory Art Center after seventeen years, I expected to do so much exploration in my home studio.  Working four days a week had limited what I could accomplish.  The remaining three days were given over to real life: groceries, appointments,  and obligations.  I longed to have hours to experiment, study and travel.

So, here I am, free as a bird. 

Possibilities are so vast, I am immobilized. 

Without the 4/3 dynamic, the days meld together.  Everything feels like a day off.   I no longer get up at 5 am to jumpstart the day. 

I am woozy with time.  I love the slow mornings.  But progress  soon drifts off to something else. There is no sense of accomplishment.

My daughter calls every Wednesday at 5:30.  She never forgets. Yesterday she didn't call.  I kept expecting the phone to ring.  Hours later I realized it was Friday, not Wednesday.

I am not complaining, just surprised.
