On Track

So easy to get off track! There are many enticements along the way or should I say distractions. mmmm Dis - Traction .. could mean loosing traction.. slippin all over the place instead of staying focused down the middle of the road.
My first job out of HS was working for the Penn-Central Rail Road in the Signal & Communication Branch out of Indianapolis, Indiana. One of the jobs our crew would be dispatched to was helping reinstall communication cables that were destroyed in train wrecks. It's a powerful thing to see a locomotive barreling down the track but when all that power gets Off Track it causes immense destruction. So too our lives. The impact not only effects our own path but also the lives of those around us. You've heard the saying, "their life is like a train wreck!" What a mess! Now I believe Art can be of great assistance by letting out emotions in a creative way instead of allowing all that pent up pressure to drive us off track. Sure, some disasters are unavoidable but we have the ability to release and refocus our energy in a positive manner. Sometimes we carry a heavy load but our good friend ART can provide comfort and protection along the way.
Soooo.. You Got It.... Time for me to get out into my studio and Make More Art! Woooot Wooooot!!!! (train sounds here)
