Truly!

Today, and most times, I am amazed at the glorious around, within, outside, about us. The world we have is astounding.

Prompt: Take a deep breath! Pick one thing in your environment that makes you smile. Create something to allow others to experience it as you do.

We have instant access to such an abundance, and miracles happen consistently. Technology puts magic at our fingertips. There is no limit to what we can create.

What are you grateful for today? List at least five things, or more if you wish.

Who do you need to share your Love with today? All sentient beings deserve recognition but focus on one of them all.

May the Lord surround you in abundant blessing now and evermore.

Here Again, I Begin

I have been doing things and keeping busy. I am sure you have, too. I have hung out on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter much less than I once did. I find I believe Social Media is less than sociable. I am opting for more conversations by phone and meetings in person.

I have some things to share, and I hope you will be informed and interested. I have recently completed the first draft (a very rough one) of a book project I hope to finish by year’s end. I have to flesh it out, design, intensively edit, and possibly publish it. I will be updating progress here as I continue.

I have a concept cover, but it may, and likely, will change:

I am visiting my son, Alex, in Brownsville, Texas, where he works for Space X. It is a real treat seeing him daily after he spent so much time at a distance. I caught him and Maui on the beach recently:

I wrote a few journal pages today. I only have my phone to photograph them with, which is not the best input device, but I hope you can enjoy them.

Gratitude List:

I am thankful:

1. Time shared with loved ones.

2. Being alive and at least somewhat healthy. There are pains, but not so much that I cannot smile.

3. Adventures of time and space.

4. Love given and recieved.

5. Creativity in various and plentiful forms.

As a prompt: Pick something recently seen or done and create a work around it. Use whatever media you choose, then share it if you like. Your story has meaning and is important.

That is all I have for now. I hope life is treating you well. Thank you for sharing your time here on Haphazard Creative. If you found it pleasant give a like, comment, and/or share with someone you believe would find this content to their liking.

The Best Time to Start

Entry Ten – 2023 Creativity Project

You know when you go to place an order on Amazon, and you realize you want THE ITEM placed in your presence immediately, only yesterday. This sort of occurrence happens to, I suppose, everyone at one time or another.

Happening is evermore infinite, occurring in place and time – past, present, and future.

There is, somewhere, something, an intangibility to our reality, which is almost always on the edge of what we grasp. Maybe poets are extraordinarily aware that reaching the ethereal is an opportune possibility. Of Creativity, perhaps Poetry sits on a plane, sphere, somewhat of its own making. The visions conjured in a way incomprehensible and unique but calling out to be written. A wordly wizardry juggled like bubbles blown by a unicorn.

Nothing is impossible because everything is variable. Artistry caught on a cellphone like a castle composed of air articulated by An Agent of Spiralling Chaos captured on a string not quite relative in theory.

Like this scrap from long ago:

Somewhere on the edge of tomorrow,
Somewhere  on the verge of yesterday,
Somewhere in the past, we don’t remember,
Somewhere not of Earth, far away.

Somewhere there are songs we were singing,
Somewhere there are rhymes that we made,
Somewhere on the edge of tomorrow,
Somewhere on the verge of yesterday.

The verses are like a found artifact that never entirely becomes but is nonetheless something recognizable.

Ah, what teenage girls dream in quickly vanishing moments. Something of beauty not to be caught in amber. Yet, now existent in the material, making meaning to sentient beings doing what we glean as living.

PROMPT: Use some found article in your environment as a catalyst for creation. You are a creature able to manifest greatness.

Gratitude:

1. Possibility
2. Opportunity
3. Creativity
4. Agency
5. Imagination

My fondest thanks for your presence here today. May something have enlightening potential for you. If it suits your fancy comment, follow, like, and share with others who you believe might realize some compatibility with the compositions and complications here.

May living enrich your being infinitely. Blessed be in each exploration, momentarily.

Always & Ever,
Jo Ann
