Testimonial - Well it seems that most of you "discordians" are little more than dupes of the Cathedral/NWO memetic apparatus after all -- "freethinkers" in the sense that you are willing to think slightly outside the designated boxes of correct thought, but not free in the sense that you reject the existence of the boxes and seek their destruction.

I was walking back from the school this morning and saw what looked like a bird corpse on the pavement. It turned out to be a little city tumbleweed of fuzz, leaf fragments, string, and sticks, but for a few brief moments there I was sad for that bird that never existed. I don't know if I quite caught all the feels in this, but it's close to what I wanted.

I like it.

You ever done a gallery show? Get some high-quality prints in nice wood frames and your work would definitely fly.

I've never given it any thought. I don't see myself as an artist at all, I just go through phases with different creative things. My mom did it, too. Actually, most of the women that I grew up around do it. Common scadian ailment.

Have you read the gospel of the First Church of GO OUTSIDE? That's how I started the flower project.

Also, I forgot to mention earlier how flattered I am that you like this, Nigel. The things you make are pretty and awesome and your praise means a lot.

I was working this up for a print document and I really liked how it came out! Still same license as the earlier version.

I like this a lot. Your photo had me convinced I was looking at a bird until I read your words. Beautiful.
