I have been working hard on the hero’s journey since finishing the first chapter. With it, summer school has started a demanding pace of quizzes and projects. Some might say that Informational accounting systems are a boring class. Still, looking at data and turning it into meaningful information to make decisions I find to be not only fun but also very informative.
I have also made a point to work and produce more artwork and take that further than I had last decade. I admit that I could have done more with my art but never really set about doing so. The most exciting thing about my first show is that I had enough artistic expression to fill an entire gallery with my work. I have fallen in love with the collage picture that I am currently adding to in hopes of showing it off and allowing it to take up an entire wall. I still intend to add elements of pairs and another Gundam.
I am also working on some poetry for the June slam. With everyone writing about love and heartbreak, I thought I, too, would try my hand at the topic of love. Like Vivaldi’s four seasons, I thought I would write four pomes depicting different elements of the idea. As for my upcoming thoughts, I have in mind thus far.
Spring: because everything is in bloom, I decided that I would write about what is love, and what makes it so unique
Rainy season: will be a short story depicting two ideas, one a whimsical notion of being and the other about finding magic on the side of the mountain.
Summer: Love doesn’t have to be any one thing love is everything, love is happening, and love is all around. I want it to be known that love comes from a deep passion and love for life.
Fall: So many people fall in love, and many drop out of love. I want to write and articulate the ideas of falling out of love and what causes that to happen.
Winter: What it means to be heartbroken and to have your heartbroken. I can’t say that I have ever been heartbroken because I can’t honestly say that I have ever been in love. I have been caught in being in love, and I lost myself in that idea.
Walking the daily beat of life is no easy task, and grinding it out today is not for the faint of heart. The real heroes show up every day and give it everything they got.
