🙃 Can you do it upside down?
Book of TREE 2.55
Much of life is the kind of game
that you played in the playground
with your friends
when you were eight.
The rules are made up and you can change them whenever you want.
So that thing you’re working on –
Can you do it upside down?
¿ɓuıuuıɓǝq ǝɥʇ oʇ spɹɐʍʞɔɐq ʞɹoʍ puɐ puǝ ǝɥʇ ʇɐ ʇɹɐʇs noʎ uɐƆ
Can you do it somewhere else? (Remember 2019
when work HAD to be done in an office?)
Can you do it in another medium? What if
you used watercolours instead of a computer?
Life is a game and there is plenty of space to play
if you decide to. Play until you’re unstuck.
Play until you create new things in new ways
like you did in the playground
with your friends
when you were eight.
Blessed are the playful for they shall innovate and invent.
Night Swimming were the surprise early opening band for Heartworms last Saturday. They have a lovely warm sound that washes over you. Listening to them feels like… swimming… at night.
‘Invincible Summer’ is available for three more days.
The art
‘Invincible Summer’ is a digital + analogue impressionist view of Selsley Common photographed on Boxing Day 2024 and turned into vibrant summer scene.
It’s a beautiful reminder
that seasons always change,
that in the cold dark of winter summer is already preparing to emerge,
that the hubris of humanity is no match for the deeper flow of nature,
that you are part of the deep flow,
that there is always reason for hope.
