Wow, your work just keeps getting better. You certainly are a great artist! I've been in hospital for a month, it's nice to see 2 pieces of new work from you, now I'm finally able to pick up my laptop. Hope things are good for you

Thanks Larain. I appreciate that. Nice to hear
Sorry to hear you were in the hospital. Hope
you're feeling better.
how art thou?

As I've already mentioned. I'm so much better. Not nearly so much pain and I refuse to take anything other than paracetamol after my withdrawal from the morphine. I'm managing pain with the study of meditation in a much more serious and committed way
Your's fine, doesn't tell me much. How's your daughter doing? Relationship? Work? Message me if it's all too private, I'd love to know how you are doing

Glad you're feeling better,managing pain without the use of drugs,
and raising the happiness and fulfillment of others,AND improving
the suffering in the world. Only you could get all that,from a month
stay in the hospital. More people should be so inspired.
Not enough info,eh? Hmmm. Are you a friend,or just another one of
those nosey types. Hmmm. 
in college. She has to work for it but,she's fine with that. I've had a rocky
road with my girlfriend but,we're working things out,little by little. She's a
really wonderful,caring person. I'm a very,lucky guy.
last 9,10 months but,there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I believe I
can see one,anyway. Or maybe I died,and my brain is being flooded with
endorfins. Have to get back to you on that one. For now.....

Hmmmm! I think I might need to practice at the meditation a little more before I can raise the happiness, fulfillment of others and improve the suffering in the world. I'll give it my best shot though!
I'm a very nosey type friend. How can I ever be a good friend without understanding the psyche of those I care about? I make it my business to discover all I can. Not that many people interest me to be honest, although of course I do care for their well being.
Well done to your daughter, it must make you very happy. And a relationship that is working out too, wow! No relationships are ever easy, always rocky roads in my opinion but you consider yourself a lucky guy, that couldn't be better. As long as she considers herself a lucky lady of course, which I'm sure she does.
I don't think you died Robert, or you wouldn't be able to send messages on DA! Unless of course I'm on the same plain

Well,you were the one who said... "Apparently I can also raise the happiness and fulfillment of others whilst at it too and improve and suffering in the world."
Now you seem to have doubts? Are you "wishy-washy",Larain? Hmmm.
"Caring nosey",is much better than "gossipy nosey". You're a caring person,for sure. I think maybe you feel too much,sometimes.
My daughter's success makes me very happy,indeed.
Yep. Relationships are like traveling down a road full of potholes,in a car with no shock absorbers. I've never had a comfortable ride.
My life is on track,pretty much. I just need to learn to accept that fact. A huge problem for me. I'm too hard on myself,I think.

Yes, I did read that meditation can raise the general well being in the world but as I said I need to practice, for quite a few years I expect
As always, you are perceptive. I'm far too sensitive and it can be painful and detrimental at times but there are positives to that too. My empathy skills are pretty sharp but then I think perhaps yours are too. Hmmm, maybe you also suffer for your sensitivity
How can you not accept your life is on track? I recommend meditation and living in the 'now'. Making a point of enjoying the present instead of regretting the past and fearing the future. You see how I'm learning

I can't meditate. I'll fall asleep.
general well being in the world,is up to you.
Sentimentality,is my downfall. It seems once I care, I never stop.
Life is so unpredictable,saying it's on track is....just asking for derailment.lol
I'm working on the shock absorbers.

I fall asleep if I meditate lying down, the only way is to sit upright, not necessarily with legs crossed, I'd be in agony 
I think life is about caring, if you didn't care there wouldn't be much to live for. Therefore, the more you care about the more you are alive. I'm expecting an argument for that one somehow.
How are you working on shock absorbing, if you are not meditating?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I fall asleep standing up,sometimes. Work wears me out. I've tried meditation,years ago. If the world was to rely on my meditation skills to save it.....we're all screwed.
"The more you care about,the more you are alive". A profound statement,indeed. How or why would I,or anyone else for that matter,argue?
I'm doing fairly well,in the "shock absorbing" department. I quit worrying about it.

I know when you work so hard, it's difficult to find time for anything else. Maybe in the future you will find more time to meditate and to draw. I'm doing my best with the meditation and although it makes me feel good it's still difficult to discipline myself every day. Most days I manage it but sometimes I'm more focused than others. I hope the world isn't counting on me! That's rather a lot of responsibility
I can't remember why I thought you would argue with my statement about caring 
Pleased to hear you are not worrying anyway, but hope you haven't stopped caring

The older I get,the less mental motivation I have when I get home
from work. It's easy to sit and doodle on a drawing pad tho'. If I stick to more abstract subjects,it's actually very relaxing,in a meditative sense,and I can hone my drawing skills. Trying to draw anything with high expectations would be..."counterrelaxing".
You asked if I argued for the sake of arguing. Actually,I argued because you anticipated an argument.
Hopefully this lengthy reply was more than just a bunch of gibberish. It IS long overdue tho'. Hope you're well,Larain.

I often draw in the evening as I find it more relaxing. Just to have a sketchbook on my lap. At the moment I always feel I should be working on the portraits but I'm not tonight. I can't focus all day long on the same thing anyway. I always have expectations I think, as in I want to produce something I'm pleased with. Even if it's ugly, I at least want it to be expressive, even if it is just a sketch. I think my work might change a little once I start the Jungian, Active Imagination, Inner Work
Regarding the meditation, it's because I constantly think that I need to meditate. I am sure you are right in that everybody has mental conversations with themselves. In fact most people fail to listen properly because they are thinking of their response before they have even heard all that has to be said. That's why it's important to quieten the mind but it really isn't easy at all. I read an old Zen saying the other day, 'If you can't find 20 minutes to sit and meditate then you should find an hour."
Don't worry about missing my birthday. I never think to look at whose birthday it is, so I probably missed yours. You always seem to feel so guilty for things. Don't feel guilty regarding me. I like to hear from you sometimes, it's always interesting but it's not expected and I know how busy you are and what it is like to work long hours.
Hmmm people who help others are not necessarily neurotic but I'm not sure I believe in altruism. I do believe they need something from doing such a thing. I'm pleased they do, it takes all sorts. We all fit together like a jigsaw I think. Each one of us has their own important role in the world.
When I said I anticipated an argument, I think it's just that I anticipate, 'food for thought' from you always, in fact I hope for it. It's good to have someone to discuss meaningful things in life with and to be challenged. Often conversation is chit chat. I rarely find I'm having deep conversations and there is a part of me that longs for it. I wouldn't want it all of the time, I like giggling too much but sometimes is definitely good.
Why do we have two lots of messages going? Could we condense them down to one and tackle all subjects in one go? Your message is not that long overdue. I'm always saying you should never stress about something that is meant to be enjoyable. It's not a chore, or shouldn't be

What a creative mind you have! Your shading, as always, is superb. I love how everything is intertwined together, like they're all a part of one thing. I like how you did the holes, giving the image depth.
I have one question though...
Why did you draw the vagina?
