Sometimes you just understand things better, you see better, draw better, perform better and generally live better. You feel on fire. You feel like the thoughts that you were on the verge of unveiling are all coming out at the same time. You see the connection between disparate ideas as clear as day. You develop and you grow. All of these feelings seem to follow a slew of bad ideas, misunderstanding and trouble seeing the big picture. You find yourself struggling through these moments to reach the moments of clarity. It's as if you are on a drug that pitches you manically from the super high to the super low.
I have been riding the high for the last day and a half. I have shut myself off from the world. I have had epiphanies. I've slept very little. I have made some work that I am pleased with. There are new opportunities in these pieces and that makes me very happy.
I am looking forward to this weekend. I'm going to make soup and eat bread, work on more paintings and listen to new music. If I manage to make it out of my house I am going to go see the Man With the Iron Fists finally. If I don't, then I will listen to some more Wu-Tang than I was planning on.
I hope you are all riding your highs. I have to try to come down. Kitten time.
Peace
-Mike
