“Making this guy was fuhhhhn!” Tal touches their creation and pretends she’s been poked. “Ye-owwww-ch!”
Cal scratches the porcupine’s nose with her index finger. “Little cutie…”
“We create,” Nia sits tall, “— and it’s up to the viewer to decide what they see.”
And what’s the use of your gifts if you get too drunk on yourself to use them?

Praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and sorrow come and go like the wind. To be happy, rest like a giant tree in the midst of them all.
~Buddha
A note from LoveLetterist:
Have I mentioned that ideas for book 5 are brewing with my morning coffee?
I'm feeling excitement for what it might become... enough excitement... that I'm pretty sure it won't get tossed and forgotten with the used tea bag that's currently in my mug.
Today's quote from Jay Armstrong really nudged my thinking.
Does early attention have the potential to be the kiss of death?
A throat slitter of creative spirit?
All of the
"I love it!" or...
"I hate it!"
feeding and/or poisoning
the ego
who then puts one's soul's desire back into the closet?
My thoughts today are provoked! Of course, in a good way. Your porcupine post card is delightful. Did you snag one from the woods to pose in your studio? Henny may well have objected I suppose. 🤔
From my customary 3MM forced search I learned that Josh Billings (a pen name) was regarded as second only to Mark Twain (another pen name) for his 19th century writing of humor. Are the water-colorable post cards made with quotes like today’s?
Perhaps intentionally 😉 I detected a tone of confidence embellished with each Muse’s personality. Must be contagious.
Buddha’s quote reminded me of the person who penned Poise! Sometimes the strength of a great tree comes from its roots.
