Hotel California #2
Uncategorized#2 in the series based on one of my favorite songs.
“Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night”
To a weary traveler of dreams and significance, the lure of glory and the promise of comfort can be a brilliant trap.
A scene behind the glass
doodles, the thoughts of a kat, Uncategorized
It’s a basic human need to be validated and supported. Yet those seem to be the very things we refuse most and the needs we despise most in others. It’s frightening to me that people are judged (meaning condemned) for having insecurities. Who doesn’t have them? Insecurities are wounds from a lack of validation. So judging them is a lot like hating someone for having a bleeding gash. Humans are evil, no?
So what keeps me interacting with them? Moments that remind me that we are all just mushy piles of goo. What was this couple beyond the glass talking about, so intensely and yet tenderly? Something about their moment, as far away and separated from me as they were, grabbed me and kept me long enough for me to draw them. He leaned in, she swept her hair behind her ear, he looked down, she took a drink.
Just goo.

Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air”
This song has been a mystical fairy in my life ever since I can remember. It wasn’t until just after college that I began to truly appreciate the lyrics.
Was it the haze of being bed-ridden that made me begin this series? Perhaps the fascination I have with this new app? And why did I blog #3 first? Who knows? Here’s the first one and all of my novice attempts at painting with Art Studio on my iPhone with my finger.

merry christmas
doodles, the thoughts of a kat, Uncategorizedthe best gifts i’ve received throughout my life were the kinds that told me that the giver cares for me, thought of me, and wants the best for me. i’m not going to be idealistic and say that they were all zero-dollar gifts. that’s rubbish. however all of them were costly in the ways in which it counts.
christmas has never really been about family for me. maybe it’s my buddhist upbringing. maybe it’s my church experiences. whatever the cause, to me christmas has always been about giving and gratitude. complain all you want about the stress of shopping, the financial burden, and having to meet up with a bunch of people that you’ll probably only see again next christmas (i’ve been the expert on that); the reality is that i know what i’ve been given–great friends, reconciliation within my family, a roof over my head, and a college education. that’s already far far more than what much of the world can hope for, and i can’t help but to want to let those around me know that i appreciate them.
alrighty, enough sentiment. have a happy christmas, folks!
