The figments of my imagination have been withering, lately.
Maybe it’s that I haven’t been watering them enough. That definitely seems better than the alternatives — that there’s been some major climatic change I’ve ignored or that their soil (played in this analogy by My Right Brain) has become infertile and harsh. Or maybe I’m getting in their way, blocking sunlight.
I don’t know. And since I don’t see any Miracle-Gro nearby — no quick-fix to get me from these scattered seeds to something I can be proud of — I’m going to take a little time to figure it out the hard way.
Just a little. I have no intentions of making this a long-time thing. I just have every intention of getting it right.
And so I’m off to see the Wizard, because I’ve forgotten how this garden grows and I’m hoping s/he can give me some pruning lessons.
I believe I know what the Wizard will say…you had it all along. That is, he’ll say that after he comes out from behind the curtain.
Thank you. I think the point of that movie works; that sometimes we just need to experience it ourselves to believe it.
Follow the yellow path and get back soon
I’m approaching a bend in the road. I’m hoping Oz is just around the corner.
Wait… My English-major reading-analysis skills are clearly a little rusty. Are you saying you’re taking a break?? How long does it take to go see the Wizard??!!
November? I think it takes November.
Just follow the yellow brick road. The time off for a journey is definitely worth it.
Thanks. Just a breather.
My right brain is currently being played by the snitty little understudy who’s timing is way…………………….way off.
(See what I mean?)
Just remind it that timing isn’t everything. Earnestness counts for lots.
MY garden grows with silver bells and cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row, but I’m not too sure about yours.
Hopefully the Wizard can help you out with that. We’ll miss you!
If I actually had a garden, it would grow bratwursts and burgers.
or you can start smoking pot. I hear that helps with creativity.
Is opium even better?
Obviously, it’s time for some more shenanigans. I’ll see what I can think up.
The shenanigans always do wonders.
Please hurry back! I know how you though, and sometimes you do need a little time, a little searching for inspiration. We will miss you!
Yeah. Just a little inspiration and a lot of focus.
Is miracle Miracle-Gro really spelled without the W? That’s disappointing.
Have a great break! Don’t forget about us. We’ll just be here waiting.
It really is. Weird.
And I couldn’t possibly forget; ever.
Breaks are good, but um, please be back.
It’s a promise.
Hurry back…I’ll be waiting.
Hurrying… hurrying..
is it done yet?
It’s pretty close. I think I’m just going to take the rest of this week, through the holiday.
Don’t stay gone too long…
I gave you a Thanksgiving award at my blog…http://perfectlycursedlife.com/?p=1143
I saw that! Thank you very, very much.
Don’t worry- I’ll save you a seat for when you get back.
Brilliant. Because fighting someone over being in my seat for a show/game is always so awkward.
It is necessary from time to time…come back soon…
Soon indeed. Just also solidly.
Taking a bit of break will surely help. Just please come back
I will. It’s hard just to be away this long.
Teachers’ College is pretty good for material.
I am looking to reinvent.
I cannot find this “The Wizard” you speak of on Google Maps…?
Wait. Oh. Nevermind.
We’ll wait here.
I am going to chase the Wiz down. And when it’s all said and done, there will definitely be a pinpoint on Maps.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
Re: your comment on dcblogs.com. Thanks, love.
I MISSED YOU! But take your time. We’ll be waiting
Thanks. Missed you, too. I’ve been so isolated from reading and following. That will change very soon.
Hope it’s going well ;0
