Rediscovering a part of me

Painting, Drawing, Sketching I used to think that I had lost my abilities with these instruments. Somehow I feel that rather than going away by not using these for the past year and a half they have had time to marinate and mature. No longer does my hand shake and cause a mistake on a watercolor I have been working on for 3 hours. My hand is steady and firm and my creativity flows like a clean and uninhibited stream of water. It is so important to never lose the ability to do what it is that you love the most. You have to be fearless and not bother about the consequences, because your brain will tell you that you can't do it and then when you are actually doing it and are better your body will have won in conjunction with a part of you that you thought you had lost. Life is like that too in many ways. Things that you lost come back hauntingly and make you stand still and realize; usually in these moments you say to yourself, "OH! SHIT!"
