Tumbling twirling boy energy
exhausting - loud - make it QUIET
chewing toddler eats all day
never full
she'd rather feed the dog
door opens
kids in
snack time
laundry
MOM CRAVES QUIET!
Why?
Art does not breed Art
LIFE breeds art
life breeds life
art is of LIFE
without the noise what does art say?
quiet nothing
Mom laughs at herself
this is - after all - what she wanted
what she hoped for
what she prayed for
find five minutes
refresh
renew
enjoy ENERGY
laughing at twirling dervish
twirling feeds the artist
art will come

I know exactly what you are saying! Now the ones I hoped and prayed for are nearly grown and I see how quickly it has gone.
