THIS IS MY VISION (today's Round Robin prompt)
I'm starting to pick-up my downstairs office, the one where the water leaked
twice before the great re-roofing adventure. Nothing was damaged, but
it became even more depressing because it's ugly and such a mess.
I really, really need to excavate this room and I will. Soon.
Anyway, I dug out one shelf and found a box full of old calligraphy pens and
some dried up ink. Now, really, isn't it time to toss these? It's been more
than 25 years and even though I still love words and pretty letters, I just
know that I won't be doing calligraphy ever again. A little known fact, folks,
it's very, very difficult to learn when one is left-handed. I mean there are
some notable exceptions, of course, but this is mostly a right-handed art.
So back to topic, or in this case, prompt. I find a neatly typed slip of paper
in the box with this quote that has been my guide throughout the years,
or maybe it's been more of a warning ~ to and for me:
If you leave it to them, they'll crochet the whole world the color of goose shit.
- Jacques Brel
