Thursday - All a Twirl

[ninanevermore]

Today on the drive into work, I was thinking about everything all at once. Ideas leapt across my mind like ballet dancers dressed in bold colors. One would grab another and lift it high, only to drop it and having it come spinning down my consciousness and land doing the splits with it's arms extended. One idea poised as a morsel of memory stage right of my awareness and began moving swiftly to the center, where a spotlight surrounded it in a halo. It then sprang into a poem that twirled into a short story that came to rest in the form of a stark painting with lights and shadows that stuck the eye in such a stunning way that like looking at a multi-colored strobe light. This surprised me, since it has been years since I have touched a canvas.

All and all, it was a fulfilling drive today. I think I am the better for it all.
