From Snow to Summer

I didn't intend to stay away so long.

The days have started to pass more quickly it seems.

I still have a ways to go,

but I am much more comfortable

and happy to be

fully back to work.

Clay is once again 

my beloved companion.

My sculpted friends are getting a bit 

of a make over.

Their bodies,

 going more in the direction 

that I originally wanted, 

while still whispering

 to the past.

Time away from my work,

gave time for research 

and success in 

the process that

 I originally wanted

years ago.

Reminding me to

stay steadfast and not lose 

sight of my

vision.

Answers come along 

when they are supposed to.

There were things 

I needed to learn first

and growing to do.

And so...

as our surprise snows 

 have melted;

 Summer temperatures 

have tickled us awake 

from our wintry slumber...

and

new friends are emerging

for April's

Early Work Mercantile.
