Which secrets do we seek in other people's lives? What a question! Wow, I think, off the cuff, it may have to do with those things we are afraid to do ourselves. But I’ll have to give it more thought and maybe even write or draw about that. I want you to know — you a joy in my online life. I wish I lived closer. I would come to your open studio events all the time. Have a beautiful day, Nishant, and thank you for your inspiration as always.
That is a great answer, Maureen. I look forward to seeing what you make of it. And thank you so much for the kind words, hopefully I can one day be in your part of the world! ❤️
I love to sneak peeks at people in restaurants, wondering about their lives. Listening, not so much. My ears have grown intolerant to other voices at the moment, but that could change. Meanwhile, I spotted a young man dressed in cowboy hat, jeans, clean pressed shirt. All I could see was his back as he hunched over the counter in the coffee shop. By the way he hung his head, sometimes covering his face in his hands, it appeared he had lost the ranch or was on the verge of losing it. I wondered if he lived at the beleaguered property I drive by each day. A lone horse dozes in one spot in a tumbleweed-choked corral, looking as trapped and dejected as this cowboy.
I agree, sometimes it is best if we cannot hear them? Sometimes the narratives in our mind are better, our mind using the other person as a placeholder for its own thoughts. Thank you for sharing such a rich, human moment, Sue. 🙏
There are stories everywhere, aren't there, whether they're true or not. As a storyteller once said when a kid asked him if "that" story was true, "I tell lots of true stories that never happened.
Thank you for your own stories of your family, your outings into the world to paint, and for your drawings too, that are so fascinating.
