printer hadn't been turned on in over a year,  never really used.    this is first sheet that came of test print…i told her to keep it and it turns out it's perfect for what i imagined doing….the  "drawing Into"  .   Used  #2 pencil…just very small marks,  just to see what change Very Small might make…will continue with this.    Micron pen,  the black/white border of the plate.   

top right  white Inktense pencil to draw one of the Essential Beings and it's barely there,   can you see it?   Exactly how they are to me.  Perfect for how things feel in the Garden  these last weeks

held up to light coming in the window and things became more defined   BUT/AND  the Essential Being disappeared.

back to that You Tube i LOVE…   Slomo:  The Man Who Skated Right Off the Grid  Op Docs   New York Times,   he says                 "everybody has the capacity to dream up anything he wants to.   The shrinks call it a personal delusional system and you believe it because you choose to."

    Your additions to the photo are fascinating — and I’m thinking about how the Essential Being disappeared when the light came through…. A metaphor …for what…?
    Thank you so much for the video — Inspiring! 🙂

    Thank you for that video, Grace! I had a dream of flying when I was five. Running down a hill with friends and my feet just lifted off the ground. The sensation was so real, I was never sure that it didn’t actually happen. I still remember it. And now, the idea that anything can be a type of flying!

    Such an inspirational man.
    As a child, I dreamt that I was running in circles around the clotheslines in the laundry area of the apartment I grew up in. Round and round I went, until I lifted off the ground a few feet and was flying. I can still remember it so well.

    i thought about this…since reading the words….
    personal delusional system
    then more,
    societal delusional system
    thought about it driving into town…all of us in cars and trucks going about our BUSINESS at a fast pace, all mostly heading to BUY something…to participate in the societal delusional system
    the thoughts go on
    but i am loving my OWN. mostly because it’s
    real
