As a child, did you play the game where everyone would lay on their backs in the grass and look for shapes, usually animals, in the thick fluffy white clouds as they floated by? I loved that game. I also loved trying to see the things that others saw, although I wasn’t always successful. However, what I loved more was the slight dizzy feeling I would get as the clouds and their blue backdrop of sky moved above us because it made me feel as if I was moving too.
Sometimes I would lie on the grass for what felt like hours. Then when I finally stood up, I would feel unsteady. I always needed a moment to steady myself on the solid ground before I could start running around again with my friends.
I wonder if I’m the only one who felt that sensation?

I loved that game 🙂 it reminds me of the opening to Kiki’s Delivery Service, with the relaxed warm and windy day

I don’t remember Kiki’s Delivery Service, but I went to YouTube and watched a short video. It seems so familiar to me, especially the theme song, and Kiki is adorable! I’ll have to watch a few more episodes to see if shakes something loose.0
On a side note: did you read my post for ‘Day 13 – Teeming’? There was a nod in it to you 😉

I did! I love that your posts are thoughtful and not just the prompt words. What sort of art or writing, other than during Inktober, do you like to create? Kiki is one of my favourites, it’s so cosy and calm ❤

I’m glad you saw it 🙂
And thank you!
I’ve been using this site to cope with my illness and the biggest part of that has been reconnecting with art. That has involved writing poetry, drawing, meditative doodling that I started through Zentangle, and now I’m trying to get back to using coloured pencils and some painting. I used to use acrylic paints and now I’m trying to learn watercolours.
I haven’t posted a lot here lately because it seems easier to just put up short posts from my phone on Instagram.
However, I still have a long way to go to get to your level 🙂

Oh you’re much too kind. I honestly feel like I’ve spent the last year just trying to get back to where I was when I left school, and only now really do I feel like I can work on progressing. I’ll have to have a look through your previous posts! Seeing everyone elses pencil work makes me want to try it too. I’ve always preferred paint to pencil but maybe with the right quality I could really enjoy it again.
