Little reptile, do you realize just how many threads have that expression “the cat out of the bag’ the cat is out of the bag”.
We silly humans really need to use our imagination and come up with more expressions and metaphors.
I tried drawing one time. I do not think that i can draw - except perhaps with words. I sat down one pleasant evening and began to draw my snake plant. Do you know what a snake plant looks like? It took me three solid hours to draw that thing. Where did the time ever go? It did look like a snake plant and that is all i can say…except that i so enjoyed the experience. I was totally in the zone for three hours…time either moved on or stood still for that time. I was so content with my achievent - such that it was.
I think that it was a moment of ineffable contemplation. One may communicate most intimately with a snake plant than with another human. I must have made that snake plant’s day.
And what is the philosophical lesson to be learned here?
arc, i’m not familiar with snake plants… but i get what you’re saying. it’s a good example of what i was saying.
i think creatures such as us are naturally creative, and that an economy centered around specialization, small tasks, repetition, often does us a disservice. it’s good to broaden horizons… to drawing, or elsewhere.
you were in the zone, dialed in, locked on, in tune, bending space and time by being absorbed in something.
I really like what arc and river are saying…they are talking positive stuff…
ilp has become very negative…the focus is on all the shit in the world…we have persons on ilp who tear down anything good and focus on the bad…you know who they are…
what part exactly…

I am a part of all that is. I am a part of you and both are part of all that is.

I don’t believe you are a part of me…
