3.7.2009 Of all possible worlds, we only experience one -> this moment. It is the day of the opening and I am full of nervous energy. I stay in my hotel room most of the day drawing and listening to a class about the Bhagavad Gita on my ipod. I take a walk around the old city in the afternoon with my parents stopping for a sandwich and coffee. At the opening I make a quick divination drawing in every catalog I sign - dozens - and try to make a reading before I hand it back. Talk about building your chops. Standing open like that for so long in front of people - having someone watch you draw with value(s) on the line - it was revealing on both sides - a worthwhile risk - playing with this kind of direct emotion must be very much like what a performer experiences in front of an audience.
