Life lessons - Can you bounce? Gouache on black. 8.5 x 11
Painted for an adult fan of Pooh & Friends. As I was painting the 2nd of this 3 part Pooh... I was gifted the animated Disney version. Perfect timing, perhaps I willed it from the universe, either way -I had not seen it in years and it was a delight. Pooh & pals are so sweet, naive even... Piglet gently reminds Pooh he can't read most words, Pooh driven by his desire for honey gets sidetracked into a little illusion, in a honey coated land. It's all about friends and relationships & the lengths we go. Tigger is my favourite, his energy & enthusiasm have no bounds -all bounce!
When you hit bottom do you bounce back or does it take a bit?
I admit, I need naps to help me bounce back, not to sleep.. more about meditating & rest.
Water refreshes & reading is like a brain alignment .. all these help me 'bounce back.
Still struggling? Sometimes it's a bit more than being a little tired, perhaps feeling down or have brain fog & can't focus..
How about a micro-dose of psilocybin? Others would reach for a 'cocktail to take the edge off' or some other substance..
2023 It's come to a "pick your poison" & for some it's as simple as over indulging, in food. Which will you choose?
I heard Joe Rogan in a clip that 'Nail it' - he remarked (more or less).. "we were allowed alcohol but not Pot.. then we were allowed Pot but not mushrooms, we have to wait for some old white guy to decide it's o.k... Who the fuck is anyone to tell me (a 53) year old man - what I can or can not do with my own body?"
Isn't everyone becoming tired of the rules - rules for most but not all.
We are allowed alcohol - encouraged even -yet alcoholic is responsible for more deaths to date -than either cannabis or psilocybin. Do you know what is said to help alcoholics? - Psilocybin.
Research!
Research is showing psilocybin is helping people with serious life issues -feel better. What is wrong with wanting to feel better? Psilocybin will become available - when -? When the government lines it up so that they can make MONEY.
Fact. It's cannabis all over agin & it's just as shameful, based on lies and power & profit.
If we REALLY cared about the Mental health needs of each other - we would allow for people to explore & seek out help rather than shame people for their choices or worse still put them in jail for non violent crimes.
The quicker we bounce back - the better off we all are.
One more Pooh inspired pal - next.
