“I would rather be an artist than a leader. Ironically, a leader has to follow the rules.”
― Criss Jami
Long ago I learned that the more rules there are in a system, the more loopholes there are around them. But then I’ve always had a love hate relationship with rules and structure. I tend to like to bend them into new lines and shapes and see what they can become. Can I now claim that’s due to artistic license. Hmm that could be even better than poetic license which just gives you the freedom to play around with language. Now that’s a turn of phrase gives us freedom. How can something give us that which is inherently ours?
This little mini-essay may be a bit more dis-jointed as usual as I have a bit of a cold so feeling oddly stuffed up in here. Hmmm, if a priest is defrocked and a lawyer is disbarred is a former pothead dis-jointed? I’ve been told that when a foreign embassy is torn down it becomes disconsolate.
Tricked into learning
We start chasing our true tales
revealing ourselves
Ganesh, the deity shown in one of my pictures tonight is the remover of obstacles. Sometimes of course the easiest way of removing an obstacle resembles Alexander the Great’s solution to the Gordian knot…… (cutting the string).

They are both gorgeous, G. Thank you for sharing your world of colors with us.
Much blessings,

P/s Don’t cut too many strings ‘cos you may need some of them at some point of your journey, to revisit and remember your soul lessons.
I love the idea of their being a wordplay deity…. they would most probably be related to Hermes / Mercury / Thoth / Ganesh / Enki
all of those trickster and communication deities that seem to have such a strong effect on my being….

Even when cutting strings, i tend to realize the need to tie them again making simpler knots =)
I find that sometimes the ends just need to be retied into simpler knots…
Which is the god of puns? You are obviously in their good books…
