A Tay'n Da Way
This day has been split in half by two completely different types of weather. This morning, and up until about 3 p.m., it was unbelievably hot and sunny. I walked to the bank and the post office and I was far too warm in the jeans and tanktop that I chose to go out in. Now a turbulent wind has taken over and the skies have gone from blue to white. The skinny branches of the big tree in my back yard are being yanked sideways. Everything is trembling, fluttering and swaying in the storm.
I am living a life of leisure. I feel guilty. I feel like there is some rule that I am violating about a person not being allowed to live without anyone else telling you what to do. I have never been free of people telling me what to do. Not for any extended period of time anyway. This is unprecedented. The only boss of me is me. Does anyone mind if I say that just a little bit louder, since this is my mountain top? THE ONLY BOSS OF ME IS ME.
Yeah, man. That's tight.
I started drawing the tree in my front yard a couple days ago. It's coming along. That's the kind of time I have on my hands. Drawing a tree takes more patience than one might think.
I drew this when I was in Pacifica in January:
Disclaimer: I did not quit my day job to be a visual artist, in case you were concerned.
