Artist’s Way
need to write
means of communion
creation, creative, creator
imago Dei
circus in my brain
Whores at my door
Whores in my bed
I’m so irreverent
irrelevant
iridescent
I like bright things
shiny things
Never finished that conversation about reverence, did we?
Artists are reverent — to their art. I think.
to creativity
Is this prayer?
Does it matter?
Whose boxes am I trying to tick off, anyway?
Relax….
Rest
“Come unto me, and I will give you rest.”
It’s impossible to believe.
unpossible
I don’t have the strength to rest.
I can figure out all kinds of intellectual shit, but I can’t rest.
Is it good to be restful?
Restless?
Wanderlustful?
ich hab’ lust, zu wandern.
Some who wander actually are lost.
Is that OK?
Pity?
Envy?
Alone in a darkened room,
The count.
Van… two…. three!
i’m silly
Silly but not creative
Such a tragedy.

I’m presently a bit obsessed with the letter “N”.  OK, uppercase N.  Well, if you really push me, uppercase serifed N.

Yeah, I tend to like symbols.   As in, really really like symbols.

[Snipped out videos showing my fascination with the end zone markings at Michigan Stadium. There's obsessed, and then there's.... frighteningly weird.]

I coulda been a graphic designah….
