Quiet

Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail.
Theodore Dreiser

I was told the other day or actually asked, why are you so quiet?  Gosh, I really didn't realize I was being too quiet.  I am not a loud mouth, rambunctious person by nature, but I guess there are times when I am a little more withdrawn and quiet than normal.  Usually these are the times when I am pretty busy doing art, and that is this week.  I have been quiet on my blog and in public.  My mind is busy thinking and doing and creating.  I have been enjoying some quotes here and there including the one above, and this one..

"Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family.  Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one."  -Jane Howard

So far in this blogging journey I am on, this little quote rang well with me because where I am right now, what I am doing, could not have been so easy without my blogging family, tribe or clan, whichever you call it.  Doors have opened, advantages have happened.  I needed my blog, my network,  it's allowed many of us to begin businesses, start new ventures, and meet new wonderful people.  Yes, I needed this in my life. 

When I am sitting being quiet, involved with my artwork, my quietness is always grateful that I can open my pages here and be in my stillness but also be opened to the world and your adventures and inspirations.  More work ahead today, it's raining and I am pretty sure this will be a jammies day with my laptop!  Enjoy yours wherever you are!
