P is for the Boring Virtue

Kind of a melodramatic drawing of life's undramatic moments...trying to keep emotions in suspension. I drew this while I was waiting for my camera to be delivered - thank you, Sony, it appears to fixed.

It's a good muscle to develop...John Keats thought a necessary quality for creative achievement was "Negative Capability, that is when man is capable of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts, without reaching after fact & reason". Here's a collage on the same subject on coffeemessiah.

This is an odd song - I think it's a bolero, can someone more musically sophisticated than me tell me if it is? It's a terribly lush romantic song with lyrics countering the romantic/dramatic agenda. Heh.

Don't let me borrow, don't let me bring
Don't let me wallow, don't make me sing
Let me see just who I will become.
