I wonder what was on this mules mind when I stepped out to take a photo. For certain there was nothing to indicate of being shy. Unlike some people that have a thing about having their picture taken, sometimes I have a thing about my photo; I suppose I might feel less than perfect for the moment, then too am I ever prepared for any moment as anything or everything can make a bad day suddenly a great day. At first i was going to put down a good day can become a bad day. Sort of like the glass, is the glass half empty or half full. So why the concern about how I may appear ... the mule has no choice in its appearance. Could it be my vanity ... could it be I may appear as less than John Doe .. my insecurity,we all have them ... I am afraid that if you knew this or that about me I would not be accepted. Have'nt we all been exposed to rejection and one time? I think that I have learned a behavior just spare the rejection and be the first to reject. I think what I feel and I feel what I think.
I think the art work is beautiful, exceptional and I desire the beautiful and exceptional. So do I covet that which is desired. Possible yet I have not payed for that which I desire. So my coveting runs shallow. My desire for fine art is much different than say a desire for a beautiful and exceptional woman. As an artist puts an image on canvas. I often paint a mental image of scenarios, that can run for a moment. It is these possibilties that I reject that in my search for that one beautiful and exceptional woman. I touch my left hand with my right hand and feel my touch ... in my mind I may see her touch but I do not feel. That is what is missing, to feel her touch, to smell her fragrance, to experience sadness and joy in a way that even a detailed painting cannot offer.

i have heard that to the human psychie, the threat of rejection is akin to the threat of death. it goes back to when we were infants and the possibility of rejection actually literally did mean death. that is why we will go to such great lengths to avoid it.
