I have almost come to terms with and wrapped my brain around not having a studio space anymore. Yesterday’s entry may have been written with a lot of emotion and haste, but it was how I was feeling and how I still feel, mostly. However, while I am trying to remember my “Rosie-isms”, “it is what it is” and “it could always be worse”, I do know that this will provide an opportunity for me to think and make other stuff, approach my ideas differently and really have a chgance to think outside of the box. It is just that I feel like I’m taking 2 steps back, again!...I know, “patience, young grasshopper”, but…..
There is an upside to this. I will be able to concentrate on training for a while. However until my lease is up I will be running any and every scenario through my brain, in hopes of finding away of keeping the studio.

A quick thought about sports and me.
When participating in a sport/ athletics, it balances me. It makes me feel good about myself and gives me direction. I am presented with obtainable goals that produce patience and insight. It helps me forgive and forget myself while escaping into blissful alone-ness. My mind, body, the earth, wind and water are in a loving struggle to exist in harmony while I hurl myself through time and space, as fast as a can. When it is over, my brain has slowed down, I’m recharged, balanced and ready to continue in this struggle called life.
Continuing to dwell on the connections between art and athletics, music/ soundtracks exist on the same plain as art and sports. Different genres, songs and artist may relate to either art or sport better, but they all seem to serve a similar function for both. It acts as a vehicle for them both to travel in through time and space. Example: I can listen to the Allman Brothers Band all day long while working in the studio, then get up the next day get on the bike trainer and pedal for 2 more hours blaring the very same songs in my head phones. Chords and note structures inform each differently as well.

First of all, I know that I am your wife and I see you all the time so it seems silly to comment so much. With that said, I really enjoy the insight you are giving in these blogs. As we both know, I am not a morning person and you do your best thinking in the morning. So this allows me to "hear" your thoughts when I am a little more awake.
I am glad to hear you are looking to the brighter side a little bit. Trust me, I am thinking day and night about how to keep the studio as well. You have so many aspects to your personality and it is difficult for you not to give 150% to each one. You are an "all or none" kind of guy. You get it honest. :) Definitely keep on because we both know we are truly blessed.
The fact that you can use the same song to inspire you in many different ways is great. I love that about you. One song can boost your creativity, make your legs peddle a little longer, and melt your heart when we are listening to music with the girls. I believe it is because you have the ability to feel the musician and his/her purpose for the song they create. That is something you have taught me, to really listen to the song and every part of it. I hope our girls will appreciate your musical gifts. Actually , I know they will.
