Holy-Days
Yeah you know, Holy Days! The ones that no one can take from you, you can just be you, that are unforced, creatively or otherwise inspiring and generally fun!
It started of well really, I should say Friday... We had had weights the day before and an hour of swimming which had pretty much left eveyone broken. So now we had a two hour wateroplo practice and two hours of weights afterwards. The waterpolo well, is what I still am in this for so was managable (who am I kidding) and then our weights would consist of a wrestling practice. This was my (and most peoples) massive bear on the road and guess what?! It turned out to be a very huggable bear! It was very fun and very tiring, but it wasn't over the top and I had lots of fun trying all these things with Gillian (the oldest player on our team who has a way of making eveyone and eveything around her at ease and who enjoyed this just as much as I did! -good laughs!) So that was hreat! That night I went to bed with the joke: If you hear someone falling out of bed tomorrow it will be me.
Jinxed myself! Luckily nobody heard but man were my muscles sore! Then we were off to Hanna and Jaco (you know, Hanna, my big Sis!) I hadn't seen them since Christmas in Hawai'i! It makes it extra special to see people if you don't see them all that often, even if you don't get to hang out a lot because there are so many people. They had organised one of their "geniet" weekends, translated roughly into an "enjoy yourself weekend" to celebrate their 7th anniversary and their new house, and it reminded me how much I enjoy talking to strangers! The world is so full of interesting people it makes you wonder how many you miss by assuming they are not interesting or simply not taking time for them! (Which brings me back to my earlier decision that only those people that walk down the street that you never met or talked to before seem normal) So after being all life and art inspired I broke through my artist block and did two tiny drawings for my two new children friends Thalia and Joppe, and ended up practicing circus acts in the huge back garden. I finally got to stand on my head (something which I wanted to do ever since we put down gym mats for the wrestling thingy) and for those of you who know what I've been up to in Hawaii.. well Thalia inpired me all back into it. We had so much fun trying all these things and she entirley trusted me to hold her and did whatever she fancied pretty much spending most her time obove my head. I remeber what it feels like being juggled around on someones legs and arms and it was pretty darn amazing! So if anyone ever feels held back, please go stand on your head or go balance on a rock, throw some fire or, I dunno, do something that makes you feel free because it is revitalising!
What I'm doing today? that depends if I can see past the mess, but if I can I might just go draw something!
Edit: that would be the something: Shizophrenia, a sketch inspired to be persued by the theme of camouflage. Concept art... smeared on some paint without really caring where it ended up.. feels good occasionally, not sure if I want to keep it this way or if it needs revising.. it is still bothering me, maybe I'll just leave it and move on.
