Lately

Lately, I've been having difficulty getting out of bed.
Lately, I've wanted to hibernate my life away.
Lately, I haven't been able to make a mark.
Lately, I've lost myself.

And then I had an idea.
And then I bought 10 colors of paint.
And then I bought a 4 foot by 8 foot sheet of dry wall.
And then I released all inhibitions.
And then I forgot all the "rules" of painting, and formal art.
And then I made a mark.
My mark.
All across the dry wall.  With my hands, I finger painted.  I palm painted.  I drip painted.  I painted.

And now I am rejuvenated.
And now I have an idea.
And now I have the boldness of a child, and the knowledge of someone older.
And now I am reborn.
