...I truly appreciate your comments, Julie and Sam. <br /><br />I realize there's something else I'd like to say about uncertainty and self-doubt: luckily I've never been debilitated by it, but feel, on the contrary, that having doubts is a healthy attitude and that they keep me from simple repetition and acceptance, keep me perfecting the sphere.Altoon Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743040814034732581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-82867898638604098782010-03-04T12:44:36.990-05:002010-03-04T12:44:36.990-05:00Altoon- you have encapsulated in this post an esse...Altoon- you have encapsulated in this post an essential quality I know and love in you- your willingness to take the risk. <br /><br />Samsam Thurstonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-33734345940587028402010-03-04T12:01:15.213-05:002010-03-04T12:01:15.213-05:00Fabulous post....thank you for sharing ideas and d...Fabulous post....thank you for sharing ideas and doubts. Yes, that is part of the path. The trick is to embrace both sides of the coin, eh?

Most of the time I am satisfied with what I'm doing, but from time to time I'm hit with a wave of vertigo, a very deep doubt about the artistic path I've chosen, even whether it's worth doing at all.
