“Could we…” Anna starts before Cathy shouts, “there is nothing you can do here!” Cathy goes on and on. Anna and I nodding in complete agreement at the berating we are receiving on behalf of our masters. It was a face I was very adept at making, smiling and nodding whilst I got shouted at. ‘Yes, you are right, we are assholes.’

Some of us, such as Leonardo da Vinci, are fortunate enough to have an unbroken cycle of passion from childhood to adulthood. Leonardo’s father remarked on how he loved painting and sculpting as a child and as soon as Leonardo was old enough, his father took him to apprentice at a master painter’s studio in Florence. Yet for most of us, we have a prolonged sabbatical from our passion. Life gets in the way. Your hiatus might be 12 months or 20 years. But, what can we do when we lose that spark, that knowledge of what we truly love? We have to search for it. We have to move around the world with our eyes wide open.
