late night random

Sometimes in life it pays to look at the little things. Take a day, an hour, a minute, a moment... and don't change a thing about what you are doing or who you are, but pay attention.
Notice the little things.

Read your daily comic strip with more care, noticing the techniques and styles and lines and shapes and how they become characters and actions and emotions.

Describe a word by how it is spelled: two Ps proceeded by an A, with an L at the end, and another letter that doesn't matter.

Taste, really taste, what you are eating/drinking. (My raspberry mango milkshake is teaching me this.)

Is that thumping beat from the car next to you in 2/4, 3/4 or 4/4?

Do those bees hum in unison, octaves, or some other interval?

What muscles are you using, right now? Do you feel your eyes moving as you read?



Just some thoughts.
