Lost in Wonderland


I recently read an article that described the feeling any artist feels upon entering the "zone". It likened the experience of getting lost in one's artistic mind to the
Alice in Wonderland experience of tumbling down the rabbit hole into a "world of your own". That ability to transport oneself to another world and to get lost is exactly what happens to most every artist each time we go to our zone. A key component to entry is believing that nothing is impossible and nothing is as it seems. I truly believe this is the case no matter what the medium. You feel like
something will come to you and expression is inevitable.
I also think of art as varied and vast. A good cook, gardener, musician, photographer, and many more I haven't listed qualify and probably find themselves
feeling that same lost in wonderland feeling when doing what they enjoy so much.
Tap into your Alice every chance you can. The world is full of possibilities.
