pentimento

Here I am almost a month later and nothing much said. I guess I've been too busy observing other people's lives and blogs. Chuckle. Mine seems alot less exciting. I'm usually on the periphery of the action. I learned a new word today, "pentimento"...I was thinking 'pimento' but of course that's the red thing in an olive. The new word means a ghosted image. I feel like that in other people's lives. I'm not seen necessarily, but somehow dyed into the fabric of their experience. I suppose I don't mind. I rather like it. To think that I may somehow be a part of the whole image of a person. That's neat. As an artist, I approve. The work should speak for the creator, not the creator themselves.
