Stuff about creative efforts – making things, reusing things – that bring us closer to the primal force of creation itself.

Haiku: Causation

Causation If belief moves life, “wonderful things will happen” should be our mantra. This, despite the fact that WordPress has nuked Zemanta and now I have to figure out my own free images – sheesh. But I just keep telling myself: wonderful things will happen!

Sometimes you just do
whatever it takes to make
your next beginning.


This is a little frustrating – the Internet was cutting out on me all morning before going to work. I’m trying to keep my cool, but if I can’t wrangle it out the cable company is going to feel all of the ire my Ancient Scottish roots can handle.

A contemplative
moment becomes the method —
don’t get too comfy.


You know that moment you realize that you’re slacking, and you fear that you’re going to lose whatever it is you’re working for to unseen forces encroaching just beyond your immediate horizon? I’m having one of those weeks. It may be due to the fact that we have been living without Internet service in our new home and that makes it difficult to keep up; fortunately, that will be taken care of today. But will that dissuade the beast at my horizon?

Wind! Howling so loud
with Jack Frost’s Angry complaint —
your days are numbered.

Back to work — no prob.
After running the gauntlet,
I welcome this life.


Well, after two weeks off it’s finally time to return to what is considered to be normal. In some ways I’m looking forward to it – training on the Mazak laser cutting machines, earning my wages again and not getting paid through a magically finagled combination of holiday pay and paid time off. My widdershins world is running rightways again. The thing I will miss most is being able to spend the day at home with my ladies, Mme Ross and the wee one.
