A RECENT NOTE I SENT TO A WRITER WHICH HONESTLY REFLECTS THE WONDERFUL AGONY OF MAKING IT ALL GET BETTER

Hi Billy-thanx for your note. Much appreciated! I totally understand all the pressures and "agonies" of life we all go through and I don't mind passion and even some tumult when in the ecletic corridors of creating something. And sometimes it takes a bit of wrestling for folks involved to get on the same page. Getting to where one wants and needs to be in all this is often an adventurous but rocky road.

My current read right now is an example of this. I’m reading it like it's music in a way and I can hear the “right notes,” but when I can't, I'm writhing and squirming to figure out if I'm correct in my perceptions, and if not, how I can find what I'm looking for. It can be like giving birth or something. And often it can be "dirty" grinding type work getting to where you need to be. But as much as I can "hate" it, I also love it--especially because I know that there's a solution somewhere, waiting to be found. But it can often be “messy” and can take time. I've discovered that one must be OK being in the mess for a while!! That it's a necessary part of the gestalt.

I hear your voice and I share your vision.

Best, Craig
