[100 Challenge] Ocean_ Epilogue

[Closing 100 Challenge by Ocean] 

100 days come and gone. At first this commitment to 100 days, this journey+labyrinth, took me through work that I was already working on, like my overlapping writings and my poetry and short stories. But then it also took me backwards in time, to a deep dive into colored pens, doodling, drawing with my non-dominant hand, drawing without looking at the page, collage, and etc.; and also into the future, working in materials that I have never touched before, tarnishing metals with salt and acids. This drew me in fluid flows to some of my earliest memories, admiring natural patterns in nature, just gazing and letting go into enjoying movement in sand and leaf and wind pattern. It felt like a return, an opening. Such riches! Not in gold, but in devotion. In the blinking of the eye as light reflects into it, shining off of a color, a texture, a substance. What’s next? I got some black paint. And some blue paint. But for what? I’m not sure. Maybe throw some into the sun.
