thewarmroom is where I go to escape. Do some rejuvenating and get back some wonderment.

It's my own place - and I love being there.

I can consider and think and get curious. Play around and try different things.

Watch - and look for longer.

 

Hopefully creating something thoughtful.

​

It's seeing things my way - and having fun with it.

​

I can indulge myself too and not care. Be pig-headed and singular and absolute.

No compromising or explaining or apologising - and no worrying that it all might be a bit rubbish.

​

And if I want to I can wallow in some melancholia. Pictures are great for that. I love to remember and ponder and yearn.

It's a favourite pastime.

​

Of course the big bonus to all this is that I am reminded of just how much I appreciate and admire and care,

when so often I think I don't.

And if I'm lucky I might get a more rounded sense of things. Understand a bit more. See things a bit differently.

Maybe be a bit better.

I'll be less irritated and frustrated and despondent - and more amazed and fascinated and awed.

​

It's a search for beauty and joy.

My anti-depressant.
