tl;dr: make stuff, have fun
Hi there, it’s been a while. I’ve been journaling off and on for some time now. In May of last year, some friends of mine started The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. I had heard of it before, and had always been interested in doing it “some day”, so this appeared to be the perfect…

The Kid Calico Blog, as an entity of its own, is hungry for knowledge and understanding
I keep putting off starting my blog in earnest. The perfectionist in me wants to start at the beginning, but to find the beginning has thus far in my life been a futile attempt. The beginning of anything at all, when you really get down to it, is impossibly difficult to find. So this blog,…

Wishing health and happiness to all beings. If that isn’t enough, read Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid. Douglas Hofstadter knows how…

self-portrait
I drew this self-portrait today. It was fun. I plan on experimenting with as many styles as I feel like in these posts, because I don’t see the point of just having one style, at least for now. I refuse to believe in such limits. Drawing is something I’ve always done mostly for myself. It…

SEND IT
Here’s a little motivational image for this Monday evening. I mentioned I’m a fan of sitting meditation. It helps me to relax my body and mind, and it allows me to know more about myself. What happens when I just stop? Like a tightly wound rope, breathing through a sitting session helps me to let…

here’s a thought
This is from something I wrote in my notebook a few months ago while sitting on the beach in Oregon. What is it that people talk about? I mean, beyond the words, what are they saying? The sky is blue, the waves are roaring, I am alive and I am writing of what I know.…
