it's about how you take it
“When all's said and done, all roads lead to the same end. So it's not so much which road you take, as how you take it.”
~ Charles de Lint ~ (Celtic folk musician and story teller, b.1951)
Ok, here's the scoop . . . . . Not only is it St. Patty's Day week, but I've been going through old journals, trying to find some examples of "visual journaling" using mostly images (which included typed text) . . . my challenge was to fill a journal without any handwriting . . .
Watercolor backgrounds, torn images from magazines, text from e-mails, and a doodle from my husband were used to construct this "road trip" to RISD where I was taking a class. Back in 2000, we were still in awe of people talking on their cell phones while driving. While passing a van, with both passenger and driver on the phone, we laughed, wondering if they were talking to one another!
Again, serendipity being my middle name, I find it amusing this image from 7 years ago would have reappeared for me . . . and the fact the quotation above is by a "Celtic" folk musician just makes me want to dance the Irish jig right now, while sipping on Green Beer! (only kidding....I don't care for beer!)
note: remember, journaling is about the "process" and not the finished piece
