What if it is?

So what if this is how it always is...?

How it is

Maybe we mostly live in a bubble or have simply imagined things to be simpler... I'm sure you get it.

Just checking in. Offering evidence of going despite it all...

Be back when I can...

  1. I’ve been humming “slip sliding away” since I saw this. But this stray is still holding on and has the best socks. And it’s a new day. That gives me hope… sending more love. πŸ™‚

  2. Those stitches say it all Jude, – chaos all round for me too, but keeping my stripey socks on! and sending love and blessings all round. Take care Jude, sending support, love and so much gratitude for your kindred words and pictures XX

    Loving those stripped booties! With those, the scaredy kat eyes, it speaks to me, “let’s run for the hills!” Today was heavy for in sanity! 🫠

    You have nailed my expression/emotion every time I poke my head out of my little bubble and look around at the Whirled…
    Wot der Ferk!!?
    I liked my dreams much better than this recurring, ongoing Nightmare.
    Egad. ( As my mother used to say)

    Oh the striped socks and the look of shock! Glad to see you’ve kept going, we’ve been thinking about you.

    Jude! So good to have you check in. As usual you’ve captured the current sentiment of many of us. A bubble, yes. It would seem so. I think I’m a relative newbee following you, 7 maybe 8 years and I’m still inspired and thrilled to see your work. Thanks so much for sharing.

    Also seeing “underwater”– hair afloat and lots of little bubbles floating up. And elephant trunks up! That means Good Fortune and Goodwill. I love this. Thanks for sharing through it all, Jude.

    So good to hear from you. I’m nodding my head and smiling as I read the comments as I too… know that face. You captured the expression quite well!

    Beautiful chaos! It makes me think of so many Sci-Fi/Fantasy stories. Maybe this Alice went down a rabbit hole only to emerge from a black hole! So many possibilities…
