This latter, the non-technical challenge due to
"...it's mainly about the painting experience..." with
you, comes across dynamic and unavoidably "...hard to
keep [your] feet on the ground." The photo? This
person that doesn't trust you? Is a wolf a fox, and
then "...the music helps..." you... "...the
temperament of the painter..." is an ever-ongoing
effort. It never does stop. Practice must continue.
I heard yesterday a commentator as Jack Nicholas
(spelling?) the golfer, when his youth nerves subsided
and he could remain calm while playing golf. He said
when he was forty in 1997. He retired from golf in
2005, I believe. I usually don't watch golf, but this
was a personal story. It was interesting. Now, note
the announcer asked when his "youth nerves" subsided,
and at the age of 40. This guy played golf most of
his life up til now, and won many championship - and
his temperament, his youth temperament didn't calm til
then. I find a need to keep practicing zazen, but for
what end. No end, but without it I know my
temperament gets way out of control, so, I continue.
Sounds good.
Well, the rain fell again this afternoon and the
turnips in the garden are standing tall.
lovely sun now,
