“Just Keep Missing” by Gavin Aung Than

I discovered Mr. Aung Than this week and already posted one of his comics earlier. However, I wanted to post one more. As someone who struggles with my identity as an artist, who fights frustration and feelings of futility, and the demon of perfectionism, this one spoke quite loudly to me. And knowing so many who walk/walked the same path, I felt deep value in sharing this one. Keep to the path, face down that ugly voice within, fight, and keep creating. The world needs more beauty.

Comic Art Inspired by Dune’s “Litany Against Fear”

Frank Herbert’s “Dune” holds a key spot in my soul. The “Litany Against Fear” that Herbert created spoke power to my soul back as a teen, carrying forth to this day. Gavin Aung Than’s art inspired by the litany holds power, too, speaking to today.

A Friday Morning Haiku

It’s a quiet, grey morning here in Seattle. Journaling to start day, then to my desk to get done work done. How’s your quarantined life going?

Another photo from my walks. This tree really impressed and delighted me, especially with the fading light.

Another damp day in quarantine here in Seattle. How’d you day go?

air speaks to my sense of home
the night hides mountains

I wasn’t able to get out today for a walk, and photo explorations. It rained a good chunk of the day, and I was pretty busy. So, I grabbed this photo from Pexels as it captured my mood.

Where Star Wars Intersects Space Science

As both a Star Wars fan and space geek, this video from StarWars.com explores the real science that is inspired by the film.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Mountain Biking In Hawaii: Fun Video

One of my bucket list items: mountain biking in Hawaii. With that, I discovered the YouTube channel Mahalo My Dude. Now, despite the name, these guys are from the Vancouver, BC area. But the video below features biking on Oahu and Maui. So, I thought it was great, and reccomend it.

Are there any places you long to ride? Let me know!

Basho’s memory

Walking in my neighborhood, there are a few ponds. Tonight I noticed the frogsong…for the first time this spring. I doubt the frogs have been silent until tonight. Probably just the first night I was out late enough.
