Pretty, isn't it? The Icon Class is wonderful. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I took my camera, but it felt wrong to take digital pictures of a 14th century method of painting, so I didn't get my camera out all day (except for this picture on the way to the class.)
It is extremely difficult to be away from the hospital right now. Harder still to turn off my cell phone and leave my pager in the car. But I have managed to do those things. I spent my lunch break on the phone to work and at least an hour after the class. My boss told someone that he knows that I would come back if he asked me (that is the truth), and I feel better knowing that he knows that. I also found out that my notebooks were very well received and commented on favorably.
I need to get to the class early this morning to burnish my halo. (I can't say that without laughing somewhat demonically.) The clay wasn't drying fast enough for me to get it done yesterday. I think the extra time I allowed it to dry will pay off in the end. I hope.
This is a very humbling experience. It is very intense, but also very peaceful and meditative. It is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful... did I already say that?

I haven't burnished my halo in weeks. Weeks, I tell you.
Thanks for the reminder.
I lost my halo some time ago, he he. It's nice to knwo ya have such great job security, and that your employer values you highly, but isn;t it great to just take a little time off, and get immersed in something for pleasure's sake?
Thank you now I know that your icon class is not about something for a computer. I am enlightened but do you think a burnished halo is going to help. I am so happy for you that you are doing something that is not work or having to rush rush rush. Just relax and enjoy your time away from the job.
Maybe your halo is hanging out with my halo?
