You're not alone, Päivi. I always worry about my art. I'd like to paint like Monet, or even like my mother, but I've scarcely looked at a brush or pencil recently. Artists are perfectionists, which is why I've done so little painting - but art isn't just painting, is it? It's also found in poetry, prose, music and dancing. I've been so, so busy trying to write a book that my nerves are frazzled. Please remember not to do as I do. Just stand back and take a deep breath, relax, hold your art up to a mirror, and you'll see how wonderful it is - AS ALWAYS in your case, Päivi.

A friend says” a good home is never finished”! I enjoyed your writing . Sometimes I feel sad that my mother won’t know how my life turns out but that is better for her because no parent should see their children die, right? At the same time I think have is the only person really cares unconditionally.

I enjoy meandering throughout your artful thoughts … Art dictates the mental well-being of the world as it continuously changes on our canvas. It is like a session of therapy seeking the unknown vibration of time and space to discover life’s journey, which is continuously evolving and neverending within. Change is inevitable, but it is the inner root of the soul’s memory which makes life mundane by refusing to accept the mysteries that surround us. I agree, finding a place of familiar repose such as an art exhibition, classical concert or even sitting in the garden often rejuvenates the inner circuitry and opens the portal to life’s dimensions of creativity with new breath.
