i cheated

in a way
i suppose i cheated,
i needed to shoot today's watercolor
and while i was getting ready to upload the images
i seem to have shot this...

so here i am
trying to prepare myself to be more present
by swearing off my electronic obsessions
and i have basically been a nervous wreck all day

in some ways,
i think all this on-line activity must calm me,
moderate me,
without it i feel very agitated
and certainly not more "in the moment"

and where are the huge chunks of time
that i was hoping would be liberated
from the spell of the screen & the keyboard?
i have as many "undone" things today
as i always do...


at least i like the flower that i draw today
