Joker - For Moly_x_10 Lorraine's Moleskine
Moly_x is an International Moleskine Exchange, i.e. if you don't already know. I was invited by Kelly Harcus whom I met last year in UK, to be one of the members in group 10 and here's our shared blog Moly_x_10. I did a few pages on my Moleskine on the topic about *time* and asked fellow members to share their thoughts through drawing/sketching/painting on the book. Now that everybody in the group should already drawn something on mine, I can't wait to receive it back through snail mail. What I drew on others' Mole are here and here.
I had a great time with Moly_x_10 group members!He waived his hands and murmured "shooo", all of a sudden dozens of flies flew away from the back of my head. My vision changed, my mind cleared, my senses heightened. I began to hear a poem sung to me within. "Once I planted some potatoes in my garden fair and bright; Unelated long I waited, and no sprout appeared in sight. But my "peachblows" in the cellar, on the cold and grimy flag, all serenely sprouted greenly in an ancient paper bag". Then my Joker friend laughed a thunder-like laughter and began to sing. "When I think on the happy days I spent wi' you, my dearie; and now what lands between us lie, how can I be but errie. How slow ye move, ye heavy hours, as ye were wae and weary! It was na sae ye glinted by when I was wi' my dearie." I blinked and he was back to my beloved deck of cards in no time. I had no idea these two poems/songs would one day became the love stories of my life. My Joker friend had just showed me a movie running backward......
