Currently Daydreaming

I always find the creative process interesting, intriguing, and fairly often confusing. I thought I would let you in on some of the things I am currently dreaming about. Maybe you’ll find it interesting. Maybe just weird. That’s ok too. I happen to really enjoy weird people, so here it is.

I am inquisitive by nature, quiet, and my mind makes constant observations. I ask people lots of questions, which I often fear may be seen as nosey or intrusive. Sometimes I wonder if my questions come off wrong. The fact is however I simply can’t stop them. They constantly come. In waves. In droves. In flocks. Searching for something to admire. You see, I feel that compliments are just as important as questions.

I have recently had an obsession with bunches of things; flocks, groups, colonies. I notice them everywhere. Sometimes while driving and witnessing a flock of birds in flight I feel as if I should pull over simply to stare. Butterflies, but only when they are together. Ladybugs and that they are never alone. I notice the shape of the clouds and how many there are. I am always looking for repetitive patterns. For instance, have you noticed how the trees line up perfectly straight in the middle of a forrest? And it takes not one, but many to create the pattern.

Even the words used to describe flocks of things intrigue me. Did you know that a group of butterflies is called a kaleidoscope? A bunch of lady bugs is a loveliness? A group of jelly fish is a bloom? A group of trees a stand?
