At the end of 2000, Pamela retired from consulting to reclaim her life as a full time artist

Do you remember that sweet moment
when something delightful caught your attention
so strongly
that the rest of the world disappeared
that you forgot that you were hungry
that you forgot that you had a test or an assignment or a presentation
in one week

Do you remember that gentle calm
when all the noises inside your head stopped
so completely
that the sadness joined oblivion
as if it had never been there
as if there was no such thing as bills or answering machines or calendars
in your life

Do you remember that sweet moment
when something delightful caught your attention
so strongly
that the rest of the world disappeared

Do you remember being an artist
