It Seemed Profound At the Time

Original thought by Karen Kay Remus

This morning, as I was waking up from a series of night terrors followed by a really cool dream, I had this thought (see image above).  It seemed profound at the time.  Now, not so much.  In fact, the more I think about it, the lamer it gets.

Then I got out of bed, walked into the living room, laid down on the couch, and my cat jumped up onto me to say good meowning. She stuck her face right in my face, and she looked like this...

When I closed one eye, she looked normal.  From a different perspective in each eye.  This has been going on my whole life, but this morning, it seemed profound, so I had to share it with you.

I think everything seemed so profound, because I was still half in my dream.  The dream itself WAS profound. It was a breakthrough, and I want to remember it, so I'm going to write down some key words here to help:  Gay, Comedy Club, Shoelace Writing, Hot Sex, Arguments, Cool Restaurant, Monty Python, Sleep Deprivation, Mystery, Hallways, Ladders, Chutes, Jewelry, Passwords, Victorian House, Michelle Pfeiffer.  There.  That oughtta do it.

Created on "Paint"

...and on the fifth post, Karen Remus, Genius Billionaire said, "Let there be COLOR!"  And there was color, and it was good.  And it surprised the crap out of her, because it only took about 30 minutes to create the entire composition. 

Where does the belief come from that anything worthwhile has to be hard?  I used to believe that.  In fact, I also believed the converse: that anything easy cannot possibly be worthwhile.  Therefore, I grew up thinking that everything that came easily to me was worthless:  art, music, writing, humor, acting...basically, the ARTS in general.  Therefore, I tried to develop the abilities at which I sucked.  That strategy was rewarded by society, but after several years, it nearly drove me insane.

To make a long story short, I got over it, and I started pursuing things that I really loved.  Career transitions are challenging, but they're not impossible.  I'm here to tell you that if you're good at it, you love it, and it's legal, then DO IT!  You'll make yourself and everyone around you much happier.

By the way...  Today I stretched a 48" x 30" canvas that will become the REAL PAINT version of the digital creation above.  If it's cool on the screen, it will be that much cooler in creamy, colorful, gloriously messy PAINT.  Someone will buy it, and then I'll do another one.  That's how it works.
