And an Angel in white Chef’s Jacket bearing chocolate appeared before me…<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some days are just like this\u2026.<\/p>\n

I’m walking thru Hall’s\u2026NOT spending money\u2026<\/p>\n

(probably depressed as I lost my eye bobs again\u2026researching the next pair<\/em>)<\/p>\n

feeling a little blind,<\/p>\n

a little lost,<\/p>\n

perhaps a vow of poverty is starting to look noble…<\/p>\n

but really I’m thinking I’ve lost my way.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And suddenly, an Angel<\/strong> [in white jacket<\/em>] appeared before me<\/strong><\/p>\n

And spoke to me…<\/p>\n

He said, “follow Me\u2026<\/strong>”<\/p>\n[I actually think it \u00a0was Jesus who said this, but to me he sent this angel<\/em>]\n

And he told me about how he had learned to paint such beautiful pictures…<\/p>\n

He said he learned by trying stuff, by doing it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yearn, Learn<\/p>\n

See, Taste<\/p>\n

Play, Paint\u2026.<\/p>\n

Work Really Hard<\/strong><\/p>\n

Voil\u00e0!<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0Chocol’art!<\/strong><\/p>\n
