GULP!

Fear - well, there's a lot of it about at the moment...... but I'm not talking fear about the global financial disaster that we all seem to be in, fear about where your next penny is coming from.... I'm talking about fear of what is required - how you step up to the mark, how you make your inner self real, how you achieve one of your deepest desires.  That's inner fear and what you get when you reach the final year of your degree.... GULP!

Chaos is essential for the creative process - well, that's my theory!  Out of the chaos that is too many note whizzing around on paper, in my head, in my mouth, in my ears, on the radio, on the TV, on an iPod etc comes some sort of coherence that needs to be at least 20 minutes long and fairly substantial in terms of WOW factor! ...... GULP!

Still, Christmas is coming and we have the Christmas Tree up - although I fear it does need trimming in order to fix the star to the top!  Maisy Muffin III and Parker have both inspected it and, for the time being, it is safe and secure..... but we have yet to decorate it!  What fun we will have.
