I'm a believer in art. I drew this little picture en lieu of reading more words - articles, pages, and left-brain kind of thought. I felt the need to exercise my right brain; it just hasn't gotten nearly enough in the past few days.
I believe that right brain exercise is important: art, beauty, imagining, creating. I start to feel like a broken down machine - with a headache - when I neglect those parts of myself. So there you have it - a penguin greeting us in our window. Hello there!
Maybe it's because of the Irish in me, but I do feel that laughter is a great anecdote for fear, stress, and enraging scenarios. Sometimes I am probably at risk of resorting to it too often. There is a place to be serious, but also one to imagine, pretend, and to frankly enjoy and "make fun" of whatever is happening.
Otherwise, how can you begin to find perspective?
"All the dishes rattle in the cupboards when the elephants arrive."
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of that. Mostly because I think elephants and penguins would make an adorable (though highly improbable) pair.
