Plum Doodle 544

from February 13th:

credit score is dehumanizing . . . 

what do I want?

when i was a musician, I put all the other things to the side – “I’ll get to that later”

• yoga
• writing
• painting
• herbology
• somatics
• healing work

music was prominent, but everything else was there. now it feels like a sifting and sorting and realizing a drop a day over thirty years has built up to something like knowledge.

i croon in the shower, sometimes i play my guitar. i play with phrases, and phrasing. i make lists. laugh at sounds.

swirling salty soup. cauldron.

what floats to the top? when i don’t look at the news for too long, if I skip social media: kitchen witchery. garden dreams. willow trees.

10,000 Plum Doodles Project 

I often use scribbles as the genesis for paintings. These squiggles carry energy for me, and on their own, they tell a story. I call them plums because they are little treats for my imagination. I will continue adding to this project until I have reached 10,000 drawings.

John S. Hall’s 10,000 Poems Project inspired me – but rather than writing – I decided to collect my drawings. Sometimes I write when I doodle, and sometimes I share the writing as well.
