My friend Jimmy Howlett recently retired. He had a difficult job.
Sometimes he had to do things that he didn't want to do.
Terrible things.
"That's what I like about watercolors." he told me over milk tea at The Shepherd Cafe
"I can paint anything I wish to. Nice things. Beautiful things. My paintings never hurt anybody."
Jimmy took a sip of his milk tea we sat quietly for a moment.
"I spent so much of my life trying asking question.
I've learned to let my paint brush be the answer."
