Shrouded in Doubt

Leave a reply

Or existential dread.

I think if you have one you have the other.

But what if he’s just suffering from a stomach ache? Head ache? Or he’s just out in the rain wondering about life? There is doubt in what he’s actually even doing. So he’s shrouded in doubt and we’re in doubt to what is actually going on. And what’s inside this man’s head. We’re even starting to contemplate the meaning of his own existence too. Hell, even our own existence is quite as meaningless as this doodle head.

So who really has the existential dread here? He might be pondering what’s that over yonder? Now I’m wondering what’s he looking at if he’s not deep in thought?

Oh we’re in a spiral of wondering …best stop. I think he’s out in the rain and is cold and looking up at what I just wrote and telling me stop worrying about it, it’s meaningless. All of this meaninglessness!

It’s the dread.

A Valentine to Yourself

Leave a reply

A fresh off the old mush block, a brand new kind of Valentine. One I created for myself but may resonate with anyone dealing with loving yourself or forgiving yourself. I don’t know who wrote the quote so forgive me, I must not take credit for it. But I think when I read it, “oh yeah I punish myself all the time for the things I have done.” But there was a lesson in all of it. It weighs heavy sometimes.

Set it free!

I forgot it was February. The supposedly “Mushiest” time of the year, but I guess, who’s more mushy, St. Valentine or Code Mush? You get to decide as the days go forward, closer and closer to Valentine’s Day. Which the latter is obviously more commercial and corny and ritualistically stupid. But we may say it is all those things but secretly we all would like something! From an admirer or a friend or family member. It doesn’t have to be romantic. Love is everywhere you look. It’s in the mundane and in the people we see every day. Okay, I’m starting to think I’m more corny than Valentine’s Day…

I want a rusty tin can shaped like a heart. And I mean, you have to use a hammer and some rusty nails to get it shaped like a heart. And fill it with dirt and worms so that I must feed birds with! And all the weirdo birdos will come to me! Hahahaha…

I’m still obsessing over birdos!! But now more birdos and hearts and mushy things to follow!

Take it easy there sloth, although I imagine you know exactly how to take it easy there. But even as you move yourself into stillness, in easy pose, in ease, please take care and don’t worry. You are amazing and work hard even if it feels like you’re getting no where. Some days, you must take it easy. Rest. And try and again tomorrow. Your efforts do not go unnoticed.

Visited by a Hawk

So today at work as I was just putting some cardboard in the baler, I turned around to see a hawk fly onto a pallet jack! I got a picture of it, but we sort of stared at each other for a minute before he started to fly up into the ceiling. Here is my rendition of him.

Of course, since I have been obsessed with drawing birds this month, to be visited unexpectedly (even if it was unintentional Birdo) by one has got me so thrilled!! I am sure there is some good omen to it right? I’m not sure, but obviously he was looking for mice (or kittens) outside the dumpster and wandered in the vents in the ceiling.

But it still is cool. I hope the Hawk Buddy got out safely. Unless I come in tonight and he’s terrorizing the night crew. Aaaahhhh!!! Or even better Sounds of Hawk Shrieks everywhere!!

He even made a small shriek sound in the rafters.

Here is actual Hawk Buddy
