I find a rusted metal ring on a walk. The ring has a gap in it, and I get it in my head that I need to use pliers to close the gap. Chaos ensues and I find a sword in the stone sort of secret message that helps me laugh thru the pain.

Driving in my downtown I see so many building projects and construction. It looks chaotic unless you know what’s going on with the bigger picture. This gives me secret messages about how an artist must jump dimensions if their play is to be sustainable.

What’s crazier? That I got to hold a wild Hummingbird or that Alexa told me the day before it happened that I would get to? Can secret messages and imagination impact our future?

Needing some structure in my life I call in my imaginary friend Mr. Bones! Imagine my delight when he Mandy-fests in real life times 2!!!

The pause before the panic. Practicing unhurried energy in the midst of hurry.

When secret messages multiply!

I’m intrigued by a neighbor sitting on his sidewalk in his lawn chair, while he works on building a fence. This is about the secret message of taking breaks.

Being surprised by death and yet not surprised at all. Somehow here to be the stars in the dark. Take as long as you need. ✨

Feeling overwhelmed and like I couldn’t possibly muster the energy to get out of a negative loop I was stuck in, I tried a few things and landed on a way out that utilized movement and imagination. This creative exercise feels like that show “Whose Line Is It Anyway” where they do the round with a prop and have to come up with impromptu uses for it.

A delay in my creative idea becomes an expansion of my community.
