You don’t want to see my drawings! The comment about heights brings to mind my wife’s decision to overcome her own fear of heights. Skydiving lessons! Dipping a toe vs diving in head first to freezing cold water? Taking the first step is what matters.

Oh my gosh Gary! When I think about my first post for 100 Naked Words, I giggle. It is gratifying to look back to where I started and see how much I have learned with the support and shared wisdom of so many along the way. You! When I began, I had no idea where this would lead. It really is about the climb, not the destination.

See you in drawing class Wednesday?😜

I’m unlikely to be “there.” A movie last night, “Words,” about Leonard Cohen and his long time muse, Marianne, was both fascinating and sad. A happier snippet was an interview with a man possibly in his late 70’s. He had taught himself to draw as if an eight-year old child. Would that be a possibility for drawing class?

Oh—and the drawing class—the way I understand it—it is for young/old and everyone in between. It is about trying, experiencing, and having fun.

He named his muse? How interesting! I still use the three Greek names I can remember—Thalia, Calliope and Urania—I think.😂
