Tony,
As you already know, Reflection / Projection gets right at where I'm finding myself.
Same dilemma: faithfully tending my social media fiefdoms for the handful of strong and important connections that they've brought me, at the expense of wading through so much clutter and distraction, which constantly exorts engagement with something else, and else, and else again. Even the best of exchanges in this virtual world tend to a declamatory, not satisfactory quality; an excess of overseeing into the personal lives of people one doesn't actually know.
I want to thank you especially for being the beacon I need just at the moment to pursue this humbling path of learning to draw. When every day, with so much going on and falling away on the greater world stage, it seems frivolous in the extreme to be spending energy labouring with a 4B pencil to draw my sneaker. Yet it's these small steps that are necessary, as the skill bridge into wider creative possibilities, but also as you've written here because it's one of the ways by which one learns to see to see the fullest embodiment of the world.
I think you have my email from these comments; please do feel free to continue conversing there.
