This little, curly-q, cursive-inspired ship just sailed its way from deep in the cosomotes; from a sketchbook several years old. I’ve always thought it would make a cool little logo. I’m sure I’ll use for something meaningful some day. For now it’s just a reminder that I’ve gotta keep sailing on through the ocean of life, casting my little messages-in-a-bottle into the sea of the internet from the bow of my desk. Enough metaphor for you? There’s plenty more where that came from.
When I studied English in school and the teachers always wanted me to dredge out the “symbolism” in great English literature, my dad would always say, “There’s nothing in there symbolizing anything. Their just writing a story.”
Well let me tell you, my restless little mind finds ways to drum up metaphor and symbolism in just about anything. Sometimes I’m afraid it’s a sickness. And I know others are doing a lot of symbolizing too. Maybe pops was just trying to be funny back then. Or maybe there’s more meaning to what he was saying. Hhmmmm.
