Have I ever been this happy? Will I ever be this happy again?

In creative residency at the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation on Captiva Island, I ask myself this question daily. As an artist based in NYC it's a completely novel experience to have a team of people tell me that what I do is not only important but necessary. For this team of people to then insist on arranging whatever it is that my collaborators and I need to be the most prolific artists we can be, whether it's special equipment, dietary preferences, or space to rehearse--well, this notion has been blowing my mind on a regular basis since my arrival two weeks ago. Feeling so grateful for this time, this beautiful wild place, this residency set up by a man I never met, whose happiness came from the same heart space mine does: making art, collaborating, spending time in nature. Sigh.
