Thoughts and brushstrokes

Musings should not take up much of your time otherwise you end up daydreaming and when you have other things to do, it becomes a distraction.

I write my musings in less than 20 minutes dailly. 

The convenience of iphone allows me to write anytime, anywhere.

An alternative to writing is painting.  A quick one is almost like my 20-minute writing. 




It is not as handy or as spontaneous as writing though where a phone is enough.  

Painting requires more. 

I painted while it rained today.  And normally a quick one is a product of images overlapping or connecting with each other. The process is different from musing. A stroke can be a hundred words or the entire painting can be summed up with a word or a phrase.

I'm lovin the bu(r)ds

The last few weeks was made of rolls and rolls and rolls of words.  I lose count when I talk.  In my rough estimate, I have blabbered all the way from June to July.    My words if strung together can tie a ribbon around the moon- not that I needed to talk so badly- it's my job!

And yet...

I feel that there is more I needed to express.  Maybe i have not laughed loud and long and often enough or cried that I felt there was a constriction lassoed around my throat.  The days had been so bright and blessed so maybe I needed to do something in jubilation (?).

So...

I tried to let my brush lead me.

  birds in motion!
birds with wings like flowers...

Now I feel so much better and so much more relaxed like a bird that soared and dove and got dizzy in its flight.

Today, I am loving the birds on my roof all the more and I just did a bit of talking!
