The healing power of art

I often think I should be spending more time making art.  I always feel better for it and wonder why don't I spend more time in my studio.  We'll today I'm going in.  No excuses.  It's not too hot or cold, the garden is mostly planted and done, and housework can always wait.  I feel I need to creat for the health of my own mind and soul.  If someone else gets pleasure out of it, that is so much the better.  
We need art in our lives, whether it is music, dance, fine art, or nature in it's glorious splendor.  So, no more internet searches today, no more e-mail, no more anyathing but getting my but out into the studio where the smell of the clay soothes my soul.
