Where is the passion?

As the AIDS Ride gets nearer, I’m starting to think beyond the Ride, to my next big project. I want a challenge, something that will open up my horizons to something new and different””something with excitement, with passion in it. I’m not sure what that is yet, though.

What I’m asking myself is, What is my passion? It’s not enough for me just to make something””I want to stretch my limits, to push myself as an artist, and that isn’t going to happen unless I have something that is both meaningful and enjoyable. I don’t think that whatever it is will come out in fiber arts (though I could be wrong); I’m thinking another direction entirely. Perhaps drawing? I don’t know.
