Umm, What?
On some of the things you didn't expect, but not those things
It’s pretty easy, I think, to find yourself saying, “Umm, what?” about events out in the world, both now and probably always, but that’s not what today’s journal page is about.
Nope. What’s on my mind these days are our personal umm, whats — the things in our own spheres of action and reaction that, on occasion, make us stop and wonder, “what is even happening here?”
For example, I may have mentioned in my last two posts that I’ve been doing a lot of paper cutting lately and making videos about it.
Umm, what?
Where did that come from? How does paper cutting fit with the other things I do? And, if it doesn’t, am I okay with that? These are some of the questions I’m sorting through.
(I’m wary of saying that they’re questions I’m trying to find answers to, because this might not be the kind of conundrum that lends itself to clear or definitive answers. Maybe you’ve encountered this in your travels as well?)
What I am doing is journaling about it. With a sense of humour, I hope. Which led to this page of bits and bobs about unexpected things and experiences that pop up from time to time in the midst of daily life:
