“Oops! Drawist forgot to dot my dress in the last panel.” Thalia bounced like Tigger.
“I’m not so sure about these thought strips,” Nia fussed. “Less words means our drawings will have to convey what we can’t say.”
“It’s an experiment,” Cal soothed. “Ralph Waldo… ‘All of life is an experiment. The more experiments the better!’ Let’s try one or two strips a week and see how it goes?”
Words from Typist:
Hmmm… Yesterday in comments, a reader wondered if the muses might try something new… like thought strips. Let me tell you, the discussion in my head has been vigorous. This morning I came across a couple of quotes that tipped the scale on the side of giving thought strips a try. Here they are:
As one goes through life, one learns that if you don’t paddle your own canoe, you don’t move.
~Katharine Hepburn
I find that the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving.
~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
whoop whoop for strips!!
I love how you try out so many things. It's GREAT.
Strips, Thought strips? Yes!
“I find that the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving.
~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. • via Typist”
The direction we are “moving” determines everything! It decides what we can and cannot do… Doing makes all the difference. Yoda talked about this…
The only thing better is “being.” Like “be not afraid” or be kind, be generous, be curious, be…
“Be!”
“I am always doing things I can't do, that’s how I get to do them.” ~Pablo Picasso
Everything is in the “doing” of it…
Yay for Strips! 🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼
