Adding to the weirdness: a couple of weeks ago I was trawling Churchill's African experiences for an apropos epigraph quote. Just wild...Laura G.

The Churchill comments reminded of when I was growing up during WWII . . . I'd hear Winston speaking from London and I somehow knew that together we were going to win the war.

Something I have noticed is that drawing and painting do "make the world go away"... I'm not a drinker, but somehow struggling with a drawing or painting helps me relax like a small glass of brandy might. I've read that science and art use different hemispheres of the brain, so that may be how all this works. Anyway thanks for the video telling us how the real artist thinks, and this post of how Churchill thought.

Problem with rock climbing is the mental part wears out quite fast once you learn moves and just repeat them.<br /><br />Maybe this the reason I picked up drawing and painting at some point.<br />I should definitely use the idea in my presentation about "How climbing helps in my daily life" I might change it to : "Why you need hobby"Rafal Ziolkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192101721561223991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-41516653515067235012023-01-09T22:32:38.502-05:002023-01-09T22:32:38.502-05:00Hah! “A joy ride in a paint box”… #goalsHah! “A joy ride in a paint box”… #goalsVirginiaFhinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04211345288974803303noreply@blogger.com
