GaGa Bunny !! fountain of youth close up It’s a long lost friend and he’s come back. I have been drawn to watch Glenn Gould and David Helfgott . the common denominator ofcourse is piano, but overall it's passion or even obsession.
I think we are all amazed at watching a true , genius at work, so passionate and yes, let’s face it : strange………
When you do choose a “career” it is weird though that your heart is asked to be in it, but at the same time society asks you to be dispassionate, objective. How can passion be objective?
Let’s just face the fact:we all want to be passionate about something or even more things. Why not? It can be done. It may be hard to live with, but that is the paradigm isn’t it??
Throughout all my life I have felt that time has run out, so much to be passionate about. I have sung, played music, painted, sketched, created, dyed,spun, woven, knitted, designed, written. All with such passion that I forget time, forget to eat, drink , even sleep. Some people say that is why I have not been allowed to create life-the ultimate creation, but I say that is just being nice. Can you tell the Mothers’Day phenomena.. is getting to me? lol
I am still passionate. Passionate about creating music, colours, art and I still get choked up. Passion does that to you. No matter what life is. No matter what life gives … or takes, for that matter.

Isn’t it strange that when you are a woman you are expected to create in only ONE way? I assure you, it is a misconception, just like passion can be objective….NOT! If there is anything that 2011 show you: let it be this: be you ! be unique ! don’t be afraid to be passionate about anything! Or strange for that matter. Shine !!
But anyway, from Glenn Gould to Shine and then ofcourse that path took me straight to one of my favourite actors: Geoffrey Rush, who ofcourse will be playing Captain Barbossa again in Pirates 4 and then I got sidetracked to Pirates…Did you know that there is an International Talk like a Pirate Day? Aye Matey! It is apparently on the 19th of September. Still a way to go, but that will give us enough time for practicing…but there be pirates 4 coming soon on the 19th of May ! Yoho! Yoho! And a bottle of rum… :D
Who wouldnt want to knit some Jolly Roger Socks eh? or maybe even a Capn Jack ? :D Check back next week for some seriosuly FUN pirate sock pattern :-)
