So much to parse here. First let me say, I think you are a great writer. There are many writers who are technically "good" but what they write is not interesting. Everything you write is interesting, thought provoking both in content and form, and I hope you don't lose some of the idiosyncrasies of your writing style as you continue to practice and hone that craft.

The rocks - they rock man! Day 13 spoke to me here, but I am glad I visited the artist statement post and saw them together as a whole - suddenly the entire project took on a new life. I think your use of the space around the rocks is terrific.

Also a really fantastic quote to bookend your post, and yes I made it to the end to read the full thing. The cool thing is that in the doing not only do you find the inspiration, you find the satisfaction. Life is about doing. Thanks for sharing what you are doing, it is inspirational to see the various wrinkles and ripples and tears and loves and fears of your life coming out bit by bit as you keep on doing

(happy to resteem this post)
