Doodle Wash

 I was gifted with some frames I will not use. I'm thinking some will go to Goodwill. I am also thinking of doing a series of pieces to load into the frames before I box them up.

The Goodwill 810 Series

I do love the Vase Face expression. I cannot imagine playing without these.

These doodles act as 810 Beta.

THYSM

Pocket Mind Map

The first time ever in my life, of holding and folding paper, I expanded the To Do list. My unruly, never-going-to-get-done-to-do-list.



THYSM: Treasure Hunt Your Star Map

…  a hands-on management tool; a Pocket Mind Map for your labyrinth way home.

Instructions to follow.

First: put a T Topic and a Star on each section.

Next to the star, note personal keyword planet moons, for each Star Topic. Yes … personal keywords.

For instance: Toys .. list your favorite toys. Etc.

A Treasure Map has a single X marks the spot. Our life treasures are made up of many spots. Let’s call them out.

The star map will allow you draw lines between the constellations in YOUR life. You will see shapes and patterns. You will see you.


THYSM is simply a way to get found.

__________________________________________

TOPICS: Tips • Toys • Tools • Trials • Tacos • 

Talents •Tickets • Terrors • Totems • Trinkets • 

Triumphs • Tribulations • Transformations • Transgressions


What else? The whole alphabet. Go for it.


Requirements for a Pocket Mind Map: 

One half a regular file folder or a sheet of card stock.

Measure a bit. Make 6 sections nearly even. Do not be concerned about exact. This is a pocket mind map. When you are on the trail you won’t mind that this thing isn’t exact. Before folding, score the measured sections lightly with a ballpoint pen. It folds better.


(Breaking News -  sad note! This might all be done easier with a dozen 3x5” cards and a rubber band. Let me repeat: Might be done easier.)


Happy Trails Text me when you get home.









Completely Naked

 Completely Naked


I’m calling off my search for God 

and going into recovery mode.

The ghost dogs are howling.


If you care about our separation

I can certainly meet you back at 

the Garden of Eden.


Without our notions 

we all will be received

completely naked.

Poem



Arm Wrestling

 Arm Wrestling
(or wait* lifting, maybe)


Elbows down, palms 
gently, fitting together.
Wait until I say go.

Meanwhile, facing each 
other, eyes closed or not.
Wait. Wait. Wait, 
until I say go.

there it is ... Wait. Wait. 
the tingling radiance,

Ah … Go! Go! Go!

This wrestling a rouse,
a hug without hugging.
Smile. Radiate joy.
Everyone wins.


Asterisk for the listeners

*wait is spelled w a i t.
