Everywhere The Signs

Geode (by RGP)

I believe in signs. Well, I believe that when you notice a theme popping up in your every day life, it's usually a pretty good idea to pay attention to it and assess the situation.  (Do you hear Dane Cook in your head when you read "assess the situation? If so, we are insta-friends.)

I've had a few lately but the most obvious of all is distraction. Holy crap am I distracted. Today I even sat and stared at nothing. Nothing distracts me! 

Seriously. It started when I was watching a film the other day about a writer who locks himself in his apartment without his television or stereo, etc. It works and he gets his script written. Oh, he also dies but that's beside the point.

The point is, it got me thinking.  As I turned on another movie I thought "Hey, maybe I am distracting myself too much."  I don't even know what the next movie I watched was because I was too distracted about being distracted. I wish I was kidding.

So I left my little office, cleaned off the kitchen table and sat myself out there for awhile with my sketchbook.  The walls are nice in there. I hung some flowers there awhile ago and they're all dried out and crispy.  Maybe I should take those down. You know what? I don't think we need all these placemats on the table. Maybe I should stack them up in a neat pile.  That's better.  Man this table really needs to be wiped down...

SHIT!

I was going to tell you about that photograph up there but I got...y'know. It's a geode my cousin gave me for my birthday.  I just found out today that it's actually meant, spirtually speaking, to cleanse the mind, relax and bring on the creativity.  Also happens to be a Gemini crystal.  Seriously folks, signs. They're everywhere.

 What about you? Had any signs lately? Or perhaps some serious distractions?

Holy Crap! This piece is fantastic.

I actually wrote a much longer piece, but then I got distracted by putting a link in it to pictures of the walls and forgot that the comments don't want HTML and forget your work if you try to put some in. (http://picasaweb.google.com/peppermh/Thanksgiving07)

And also I had to think about whether "Holy Crap!" was articulate enough but after about 20 minutes or so I went to get some coffee.

The coffee inspires me to add "Dang! It is beautifully crafted! Really wonderful." (The piece. Not the coffee.) (But the coffee's good too.)
