Review of my walk home after getting my paintings from the Holocene show:

Gathered up the paintings pretty quickly, took out the push pins and began my 20 block walk back to Dharma Rain Zen Center. Walking in the drizzle listening to the same two Billy Joel songs: Pressure and Movin' out; I felt extremely lucky to be creating, having a show, walking in the rain, not selling...There is something so simple in not getting what you thought you might, in failing, in bowing to struggle. I am a lucky man, indeed.
