"i am still alive"

new clay work

On my other blog*, I wrote recently about an artist, On Kawara who regularly sent out telegrams that simply read, "i am still alive." He died two years ago, but I am still here, very much alive and kicking.

But wondering, when will I take action and try to do something about this disease? Why am I still taking pills and ignoring the fact that underneath, I am harboring symptoms, and possibly, progressing in the disease?

Simply, it is laziness, and also a desire to do what I want to do which is make art, play music, sing, garden, cook, travel, and go out or entertain friends.

I am getting a bit shaky in between doses - my legs are jumpy, I sway rhythmically, unconsciously, and I shuffle - walk and move slowly. I watch, I wait, I notice what's going on, then I forget and get involved with my activities as the dose kicks in.

I am still alive, but I have PD. I'd like to forget about it, but I had better not. I can forget sometimes, but later, it may be harder to ignore.
