Creating in Bed

I have often said that creation happens first in bed. With my latest situation, I never thought I would use my bed as my studio. Last week I broke my wrist and tomorrow I will have an operation on my dominant, money hand. I had no idea how much I depended on my left hand. How does the song go..."you don't know what you have till it's gone". Not doing art for a Gemini is death. I needed to do something to put my Passion Qualities out front. to, some how,  look forward to this next journey into my creative muse. A new exciting direction was needed, Maybe new media to explore would excite me. I'm a strong Visionary", and I know me and boredom with same-same. Something new had to be waiting on the horizon...SOON TO PEAK MY INTEREST. The new project, study and research now took precedent, My new inner voice calling was the extensive study of "Sym.bol.ogie", also my new line of Object 'd Art".. My new obsession was going to consume me as I learned from culture to culture how art and message were, have been and will be married by me. I set the stage for research books, juicy art tombs, and basic materials that, hopefully, an unsuspecting right hand can achieve. I built my "creativ" fortress, AROUND MY BED, with all I would need for a week of "Poor Me"retort. Everything needed to be at fingertip reach for that sudden burst or inspiration. Ask, and it shows up. My friends jumped into the hunt, starting at the library. How great is this? All those books, I coveted, will now be read, As I looked around, I recalled rainy days as a child, dragging out everything from crayons to cut-out dolls  for my little Maple table and chairs. I didn't want to be board. Those were happy days of exploration...without pain.That will be my emotional focus, Who knows what a lost hand can achieve while waiting.
