Thanks Janet for your reply.

Yes, what you write is true for me anyway. I did find my own peace when I stopped trying to find it. The buddhist saying is true, I believe.

I would have liked to have started my art training at an earlier age around my teens when I first got interested in art. As parents in those days did, they discouraged this idea severely and drummed it into me to get a regular income, buy a home (which I did at the age of 19) as there is plenty of time to do that sort of thing when you retire. I believed them of course as they were much wiser than I was and took it for granted that only really special talented artists got to start early in life.

Hmmmmmmm, I look back now on all those years with the subject of time management in my mind and think "Just where has the time gone to develop one self to inner peace and one's dreams". I suppose I am where I should be right now. What will be, will be.
