Scene: Woollybear Wednesday

[Begin scene]

A warm fall day, nary a cloud in the blue sky…

Inching along a broad green leaf is a fuzzy little critter…

Black on both ends with a length of brown to connect them…

The woollybear stops here and there to munch on a crumb of the leaf as he makes his way forward…

Ever onward, ever eating, until the day comes to rest and begin his transformation…

For now he must crawl but one day will flutter about the leaves that used to be his road…

I know around Ohio here, there are a few Woollybear Festivals this time of year. Have any near you?

Scene: Talk Like a Pirate Day

Arrr, welcome aboard MindEscapes.

Get ye ready fer a grand Tale!

[Begin scene]

We were a cursed sittin’ still in ye vast ocean…

Becalmed we were, adrift with the sea…

Twas then that the cold wind a started blowin’…

Spooked us all, the way it just come up like that…

Then it rose, right from ye waters, nearly capsized us it did…

Biggest fish yun ever did see, all blue and big and such…

Sprayed water right quick, shot outta its back it did…

Then woosh, it was gone back to the depths from which it came…

Lucky for us the wind continued to blow, bringin’ us right back to you landlubbers that we might blabber this here tale…

Beware them deeps, monsters be there!

I definitely need to work on my art skills 😉

Scene: Leaving the Nest

We all must do it at some point.

[Begin scene]

Nestled deep in the branches of a pine tree, surrounded by dark green needles, sits a little bird nest…

Just outside the nest hopping from branch to branch tentatively is a young blue jay in near full plumage…

His familiar blue feathers ruffling as he hops branch to branch, waiting to take that flight…

Nearby the mother bird chirps expectantly, insisting that the time is indeed now…

With a final chirp in goodbye, the young blue jay leaps into the air, spreading wings that will carry him forth in this life…

Grown up.

It’s Monday morning. Start of the work week. Glorious Day? Pshhh…Well I say it is a glorious day. You are here , I am here, seems glorious enough for me. Let’s see if we can start this week off right.

[Begin scene]

The warm morning sun peeks over the nearby trees completely unaware of starting a new week…

Petunias in a nearby garden, their collection of purples and violets, reach for the heat of the morning rays…

A slight fog dampens the sounds of a world coming to life…

The aroma of your morning coffee rouses your senses while the warmth seeps into your hands wrapped around your cup…

You feel awake, prepared, and determined…

#Motivated Monday.
