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 lots space to play
if you’re determined to play. 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 players for they shall innovate and invent.
Which banana?

Obviously I had to go with George’s backwards guitars from my second-favourite Beatles album. Be sure to go to watch the video. It’s stunning: “[Em Cooper] painted every frame individually in oil-paint, a labourious process which took many months.” (Spotify)

Love the bananas. They look so happy. And I loved your 2019 comment about when work had to be done in an office. It just shows we can adapt, and quickly, when necessary.
