It's the second session of Alobi. I asked Alobi to read a book and time went faster while listening to the music of Yo-Yo Ma and a Japanese pianist called Kumi Miyagawa. After classical, we switched to Janis Joplin and Tracy Chapman. I told Alobi that I rarely happy with my work. No exception for this morning's study. The sofa looked like a floating sofa! Why? Why couldn't I do it better! Why couldn't I paint the image I saw from my head. Did I loose my patient? YES. YAOLING, YOU ARE! I know, sometimes, I drive myself crazy unconsciously. I should just keep working and not thinking!!! Like a machine?
