See the difference?
One free hand, the other an emulation, yet from my computer mouse’s pen
Mixed media of my imagination
From crayons to pens to stylus
Calligraphy to keyboards
Paper to screen
Strings to buttons
Hugs to blue light
It’s not all bad
It’s weird
A fragment
A moment in time
I’ll always pick up the crayons, and if I’m to survive, I’ll choose hugs over blue light
And the moments when screens + strings dance with divine intent, well that’s an exquisite fun new reality
Do you see the difference?
Do I?
The carvings turned to spray paint
The spray paint to sketches
The overlay of them all which led to confidence
When the fabric came, the message was received that I’d put down the paint for now, learn to show my authentic sketches, and focus on a world of billowing blank canvases
No skill learned unused
No time wasted
I just picked up another tool for the life construction tool belt…then carry on…
