How do you know?
Seemingly you can now buy special collars for dogs, particularly dogs who ramble, which is most canines really, that keeps them from drifting too far from their place of abode.
It emits a frequency that is in constant communication with a transistor near the dog’s kennel. If he insists on pursuing his independent desires, the pitch from the collar simply becomes too uncomfortable and forces him back into a closer perimeter near the kennel.
No chains, just technology and sore ears, if you’re a dog.
A half finished painting works on the same principle.
Every artist will tell you that getting started is the hardest part.
Some may find middles tough, others struggle with endings, and still others with all three – but they don’t normally paint. Beginnings are my own Achilles hill.
After you quash the stillness of the white canvas, the world of possibility is laid open.
Even when you leave the studio it’s calling to you like some siren’s lament. It won’t stop until you return and pick up from where you left off.
Granted you won’t get sore ears like poor Fido, but you will experience that uniquely human sensation of coiled potential seeking manifestation, which you ignore at your peril.
Better get to work so.
For you, former manifestations now thankfully concrete are available here for your viewing pleasure.
Enjoy.
