The Gradiation of the Sunset & all it's 50 colors.

I had the best night on the top deck the other night. An art student onboard, Charisse, & I met to pastel the sunset at 2100. Check out her website! It was my first art venture while on board & I must say "it felt good". Pasteling is a new thing to me (thanks so much JC for your generous pastel set) but I want to learn. .... then again, I'm just as happy w/ all my paints.

She is the student who asked me "What is your bliss?" I still think that is the best question I've been asked in a long time.

The night led into another interesting discussion w/ the theater director onboard and her new screenplay. "What's it about?", I ask (in my most naive theater-ish way), "It's about soul-gardening." I was hooked. We talked alot about what that meant to her and instead of finishing the sunset, I began to draw the words SOUL GARDENING across my paper. I love how the best convos. are the unexpected ones.

She also reminded me that only 10% of language is verbal. That's a good thing, I guess, b/c sometimes I talk alot.

"Being born is messy", she says. Interesting lady w/ lots that I was left with to think about.

I'm off to a Greek Island for the day about an hour from Athens. Yea, tough life, I know. :)
