You ARE Allowed

You're allowed to drip, smear and play with color

without having any idea of what you'll do with it later.

You're allowed to alter a favorite book into a fancy new sketchbook.

You're allowed to throw a party, then throw the decorations into your collage pile . . . 

your EVER GROWING collage pile.

You're allowed to paint with a new palette -

adding layers and marks and scratches onto canvas!

You're allowed to make your desk a place to play -

and make way "better" use of those stuffy old office supplies.

 And you're allowed to rest, feet up, under piles of warm blankets, magazine in lap.

(Dogger can too!)
