Coffee and orange juice left me with a zany feeling br as the dawn rose up like a butterfly br bursting its way out of its cocoon. br The globe ascended on the horizon...and br all stars withered from the sky on the island of Lanai. br Mesmerized by the view and the drone of the radio, br I clumsily knocked over my teacup of blueberry's br onto my plain muesli, which was now covered br with many different sizes and hues of blue...and br suddenly...my next oil painting titled... br 'Breakfast on the Lanai ' materialized in my head... br after just moments earlier feeling bogged br down by tired artiscally deprived thoughts. br br Written July 25 2008.
