A Two-Word Name and Thoughts on Lightning

Keith, I like your title for Najwa's painting but then I was trying to get it down to two words since that was the original request. So I stole your word "Oasis" and now suggest "Inner Oasis." I keep returning to the blog to look at the painting, Najwa. Thank you for sharing your color with us. I wonder if that is what we all do as artists is share our "inner oasis" with others, and I wonder, too, if that "inner" aspect of our creative lives gives way to occasional profound feelings of loneliness.

And I believe in the power of poets in love. It's the kind of weather that storms across the water at you and catches you before you realize you've been waiting all your life for it.
