O SGM! Where ART thou ;-)


SGM hates meetings!!! Most of the meetings serve no other purpose rather than to have an alibi for your presence for an hour or two.
Well today he was forced into attending one. SGM was the last person to enter the room. He sat there with a notepad and a pen placed neatly on the round table.
The other attendees had lots to debate and discuss. But all that SGM could hear was the ocean. The wide blue ocean symbolized freedom for him... freedom from work! freedom from relationships! freedom from thoughts! freedom from life itself!!


Note ~ SGM longs for such freedom...

His hands now shifted and cupped his ears in a different way! The boisterous waves crashed against the rocks. The magical rhythm of sea upped a beat.
As SGM breathed the moisture laden ocean-air into his nostrils and danced to the ocean beats, his pen moved unknowingly over his notebook scribbling something in a frenzy.
When the waves subsided, silence fell across the land! SGM put his pen down.
The scribe read the minutes of the meeting. It sounded all greek and latin! SGM was glad that there was no action item on his plate.
"Thank You", the leader called out.

SGM breathed a sigh of relief. The meeting was over! And there were positive results from this meeting. He had created a masterpiece! ;-)

Cheers,
TLT

ha ha. That was indeed a masterpiece, hope there are more meetings:-)

I love making eyes and half faces of women ( drawing a 'full' face means the eyes, the eyebrows ..all have to be symmetrical ... and you know, that needs a lot of effort)So I end up making all different pairs of eyes, brows and lips:-) And then I fashion them cleverly ... as any craft of modern art:-)

Hey, a nice post again! Truly, meetings are such a bore!

And freedom, yeah, that's so much desirable in this claustrophobic world.
