Unwritten order of events

Learning to be grateful for all opportunities and to be patient during challenging experiences has relaxed me. I no longer try to accomplish things all at one time and try appreciate and enjoy the slow orderly process (meditative). When the process is the goal itself and the outcome is secondary, the process becomes completed flawlessly and the goal becomes accomplished with a greater quality; there is no need to rush things. One step after another, and then another leads you to perfection.
Personal lives can also be described in such a manner. Without the first step, there is no second. When jumping over several steps at a time, you are eventually urged to return to the ones that you have skipped; a building with no foundation is eventually going to fall apart. Polishing a technique, appreciating every step of the process and accomplishing things in an orderly way leads you to a fuller appreciation of the outcome and usually a better outcome on the second, third and fourth try, the trick is to focus and enjoy the process while knowing that the goal is eventually going to be reached. Making mistakes and learning from them is a part of it. Patience (and by extension of it, excellent results) are therefore not a virtue, but a matter of habit and extensive methodical practice and continuous troubleshooting.
Once again, I am grateful for the past and the future that comes as a logical continuation.
Without now, I would have no tomorrow.

Trion Life Drawing Sessions
I am always very grateful for the opportunity to model for artists. My special thanks goes to the Trion World Network Life Drawing Sessions, which I am honored to work for occasionally. Trion is the first place where I actually started modeling as an arts model, and up to this day is it still one of my favorite places to work for. I love the relaxing atmosphere and non-nonsense people. I love to challenge and to inspire. In turn, I am challenged and inspired myself. I always come back from these sessions more refreshed than I have been before I walk into the building (or should I say sneak?)
Some samples of their work follow:

Constraint

I once was told
that my constraint
resulted only from restraint,
which I was once
a subject of.
