THE FORCE
THE GUY IN THE IMAGE IS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH. FROM THE LOWEST OF DOWN TO THE HIGHEST OF UP, HE IS NOW ON A SUPER-POSITIVE TRAJECTORY WHERE ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
WHEN SERIOUSLY DOWN FROM DEPRESSION AND MYSTERIOUS VIRAL DISEASE, HE WAS ADMINISTERED WITH A HUGE DOSE OF LOVE FROM THE WORLD CERAMIC COMMUNITY. THE RESULTING SURGE OF POWER MADE ME THINK OF DOING THIS BLOG, SOMETHING I HAD STAYED AWAY FROM BECAUSE I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT I HAD TO SAY THAT WASN’T ALREADY IN ONE OF MY BOOKS. AFTER MY CATHARSIS, I SUDDENLY HAD MORE ENERGY THAN I HAD HAD WHEN I WAS IN MY PRIME. I IMMEDIATELY KNEW WHAT I WANTED TO SAY AND MY BRAIN IS STILL WORKING WELL ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
TUNE IN TOMORROW FOR THE NEXT EDITION AND BRING SOME FRIENDS WITH YOU FOR COMPANY. HAVE A GOOD DAY! ROBIN
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU.
So happy to hear that the love fest did it's job! :-)
