We do. We&#8217;ve taken such excursions at least annually for almost a decade. Many of you have followed us along to the Oregon coast, Baja California, Arizona, Montana. Now we&#8217;re situated for our third time in California&#8217;s San Bernardino mountains. It&#8217;s how we do &#8220;vacation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/blank-slate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Cabin.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12646\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/blank-slate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Cabin.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"429\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6>The Bruce and Sandy Wegner cabin at Crestline, where we&#8217;ll be for two weeks.<\/h6>\n<p>We both look forward to these get-aways. For Anne it&#8217;s the only time she can really pour herself into her art. We do have a studio in the house, and I&#8217;m generally there every afternoon, but Anne only rarely. There&#8217;s always too much else to do. And, what with wanting and needing to produce new work for her offering at the Laguna Festival of Arts again this summer, there&#8217;s a useful urgency supplied.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/blank-slate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Anne-in-Kitchen.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12647\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/blank-slate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Anne-in-Kitchen.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"373\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6>First day, Anne&#8217;s press set up in the Wegner cabin being transformed into a studio.<\/h6>\n<p>Funny, more than one person, on learning that we were taking this trip would say things like, &#8220;Relax.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Relax?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not about that. Certainly there is the morning quiet time, the daily walks, the moments for reading, the conversations as we go, the movie in evening . . . but the real reason for it all is what we came for: the activities of our mind, the work of our hands.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/blank-slate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Schedule.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12648\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/blank-slate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Schedule.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"875\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6>My schedule for the two weeks, helps in ensuring the time&#8217;s well used. (Click twice for closer view.)<\/h6>\n<p>Understanding that, one friend prayed us a high measure of creativity. I thanked him but said that wasn&#8217;t the problem, ideas being generally abundant; rather it&#8217;s quality that we need . . . the ideal to come ever closer to the standards we&#8217;d like to reach.<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re doing. All prayers welcome.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll keep you posted at intervals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/blank-slate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Anne-working.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12649\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hyattmoore.com\/blank-slate\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Anne-working.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"419\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6>First morning, Anne completing an earlier piece.<\/h6>\n<p>I was also thinking of bringing you along a little more on the recent Beatitudes series, the process of their making and the meaning behind each. So, stay tuned for that.<\/p>\n<p>With you, and for you, we remain grateful.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s break with a purpose. So is that a break?
