Whats wrong? Is anybody doing ugly or being horrible to you,tell me,I will go immediately over there and give them my never ending story!!!
No one comes to bother William,you hear me,you silly excuses for a life forms,quit with it!!!
Or this is just a new poem? :O)
Ha! I like that — just a new poem. No, no evil forces, only a passing mood. And to chase it away, I made this drawing without wearing my glasses, and I used a very dull pencil. Thanks for coming to my defense!
Certainly your face looks grim here, William, as if enlivened by rage. But the drawing might have tempered your rage or frustration or whatever.
I can't write when I'm in a rage, only on the cusp of it as it recedes.
Is this so for you, too? Or perhaps you've mastered the emotion such that you never let yourself get into a rage. I must say I rarely get enraged myself, only occasionally.
Well I do declare. I look more like you than I thought!
Katie, you have a beard? It has been a while since you've moved!
Ya, thought, it cannot be sooo bad with this smile behind...
This is for me "The scream" from William Michaelian
Strung tight, my
eyes scream—by which
I mean to say I see
(Inspired by "Frustration" drawing & Laura's post)
Elisabeth, that’s a good question. I think rage is probably my natural state. But I do suffer from recurring bouts of tranquility. To combat those “spells,” I remind myself that I’ll be miserable again soon, and that cheers me up. Now, I realize this sounds like I’m joking, but I’m not. Maybe that’s a sad thing. But for me, emotions, moods, states of mind — whatever we choose to call them — are rarely so easily defined. What appears to be happening at the surface might or might not indicate what is happening at a deeper level. And some take only moments to play out, while others can take years. Think of volcanoes.
Katie, you have my deepest sympathy!
Cassie!
Rudhi, these drawings are more accurate than the nightly weather report....
Laura, thank you. Now I have to stare for awhile at Munch’s painting.
Conrad, your poem is far too good and accurate to keep hidden here in the comment section, so I’ve added it to the main post as well. Wonderful! Thanks.
Hi William
You might be interested to read this about so-called depression and emotional states: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/28/magazine/28depression-t.html?emc=eta1
I find it interesting in do far as in some senses it's a plug for the value of sadness.
Intriguing. Thanks. I’ll read this as soon as I can.
