Here in Rabat, I just received the most perfect gift. It’s a blank canvas. I think I’ve been waiting all my life for this gift. Ok, ok, I’ve been waiting for this gift since my dad gave me the limited edition, apple-shaped USB of all the remastered Beatles songs, because that was definitely the gift of a lifetime.  But this is a close second.  And it was just the nudge I needed to finally get serious about art.  Time to get into gear.  Is it prophetic that I accidentally typed “fear” instead of “gear?”  One can’t say.  We don’t have the technology.  But what I can say, is that this is one of the greatest gifts ever.  And the cool thing is, I don’t even know who gave it to me…yet.  But now I must be off.  I have a masterpiece to create.  I’ll keep you posted.
