Euphoria
I was a little boy, yet I remember it like it was yesterday. I'll never forget the feeling of euphoria that washed over my body.
I see it so clearly.
My mother handing me a paintbrush loaded with exciting, bright, yellow poster paint.
A blank piece of white poster-board beckoning me with open arms.
The total comfort within my being that had not yet learned the meaning of the word judgment.
The unconditional freedom to express myself without worrying about what an audience might think of my work.
The unencumbered connection from my soul through my hand to the paper.
The joy, pleasure, satisfaction and sheer excitement of that first unrehearsed stroke remains the original seed that started the beautiful, vibrant, fulfilling, forest of color, in which I now live.
Thanks mum.
