This past week has been fairly productive. I have recorded up to five chapters of “The Resurrection Incident.” I would likely be recording more today but my neighbor is having some trees trimmed and I don’t want to risk any of that background noise seeping into my audio.
That gave me a good reason to come to my blog and share a few updates on my journey. Everything feels like it going well and it seems like something new is emerging in my life – an unexpected, but fruitful path.
Something I have been working this past week are 2-page spreads for an illustrated version of my poem, “The Junkivore.”
When I say illustrated, I don’t mean that I am actually drawing characters or scenes. I thought that might be what I would do, but when I started to work on it, that seemed somewhat limiting. Instead, I ended up creating several surrealistic and abstract backgrounds that are evolving to, hopefully, reflect how the poem evolves as it goes along.
It has been a fun exercise in using various Procreate brushes and colors and effects. It also has me thinking about several other poems that I have in the works that I might want to do something similar with.
Other than that, I am enjoying taking care of the regular things of life – cooking new things, making small upgrades in our home, planning my garden, keeping my body active and strong.
In everything, a reaching and openness to God and His plan.
It is good.
