Reflection

"But we cannot simply sit and stare at our wounds forever." -Haruki Murakami Well, I finally made it. Thirty-one junk journal spreads for the thirty-one days of July 2021. I can stick to things. I am not a total flake. There's my face again...it's popping up everywhere! I've been looking in the mirror all month long. I don't like what I see. I don't know how to change it, but I know I have to try. I love that picture of the city street. If I can sit at my art desk, day after day, and push through these spreads and blog posts, then I can do thirty days of something else. Maybe I can make myself into someone better in monthly increments, one day at a time. Or at least happier, if not better. I have to try. If I don't, I'm going to do things I will end up regretting. I'm tired of being rash. I'm tired of being foolish. I can't keep bouncing around between thoughts. I want the things I do, to be measur...

"It's just a moment in time you can't have back." -Guy Clark That's a picture of me. It was taken a long time ago. I forget exactly how long. I wrote about this picture a while ago, and I'm going to share what I wrote here today: I have this one picture of me where I look like a ghost. Every time I look at it, that's what I think. I'm young in the picture, late twenties, maybe. Andy took it. We'd went to this place in Kentucky that he'd found. There was this hole-in-the-wall diner that had a huge billboard you could see from the highway. The billboard was almost as big as the diner, I swear. "Home of the Smashburger". And so we drove up there one day to find out what exactly a Smashburger was and we walked around this small Kentucky town. It must have been in the fall of the year, close to winter perhaps, because I'm wearing a sweater, even though the sun is shining. I've never been a cold-natured person; m...

"It isn't what we say or think that defines us, but what we do." -Jane Austen Actions speak louder than words. What are my actions saying about me, I wonder? I suspect my actions are fairly minimal most days. I go to work. I come home. I do some creative thing. I repeat. I suppose that I lead a quiet life. Then again, I don't think too many people live lives of daily unbridled heroism. Maybe our small actions can end up meaning a lot to others. I hope mine do. I'll probably never rush into a burning building to save someone's life, but I hope that I'm there for people when they need me to be. I can think of times when someone has saved my life by putting a hand on my shoulder and telling me I was doing a good job. Or by talking with me through the hard times. Or by just sitting next to me and letting me cry it out so I wouldn't feel alone. I hope that I can be that kind of hero, because I think there are quite a few more tears in the worl...
