Do-Overs

(The image above is by Nathalie Patenteau. Check out her art.)

There are just some days when you go to sleep at night and wish you had the opportunity to have a do-over for the day that you just experienced. Friday was just that kind of day for me. Not that things were bad - just that things were blah. And I try very hard to avoid blah days. So, I'll start today by doing a full smudge with sage at the shop and see if I can't banish the blah demons back into their corner closet.

And that brings a mind picture...what do those closet demons look like? In the comics, Opus (now living the remainder of his cartoon life out in the final pages of Good-Bye, Moon) had a closet of night-terrors. Those terrors ranged from his mother to George W Bush with a wide range of other topical characters between. But when I envision my closet of demons, I'm more on the order of large-jawed, sharp toothed, drooling and hairy monsters. I'm a bit surprised - I would have thought I would put more of an orcish appearance, but my monsters seem closer to Where the Wild Things Are instead of Tolkien. Who would have thought?....
