Driving Ms. Daisy
I met Ms. Bell 20 years ago. She was my anger management therapist, a suggestion by both my husband and daughter after an arduous trip to Belen, Brazil in the amazin amazon. On the phone she sounded like June Cleever and Donna Reed combined. She was anything but when we met face to face. Ive been very lucky in my life to have 2 amazing shrinks, both of which became clise friends.
Artists need shrinks that really "get" that unique mercurial and neurotic drive that fuels intense creativity. She was and is the genuine Fahschnizzel!! I rarely photograph her. It's difficult to capture that proverbial lightning in the a bottle. She helped me understand the highs lows and endless depression and doubt that IS being an artist. "I'm a loser and a nothing nowhere man" to. "I need to kill myself" thru to "What a beautifully gorgeous creator". What the fuck!!!
What I've accomplished via Daisy is clarity, knowing the difference between reality and artist's doubt and the undulating waves of despair: Bob the drama queen indeed. I am eternally grateful for this speshul relationship.
After all, there is blood family and the brilliant family one can create with the assist shamanic soul. If one is truly lucky one can have both but rare to nearly never.
