I’m sure everyone knows that to enhance our personal enlightenment, we must first let go of all preconceived ideas, beliefs, and notions.
Our most favorite beach elf, Sunday
[link] , knows this rule very well. And he believes the easiest way to accomplish this is by standing on his head. I have to admit that when I’m standing on my head.. all the things I believe suddenly become very questionable.
Anyway.. Sunday enjoys going to high points, over looking the ocean. Then.. with his face in the ground.. his bottom up in the air.. and the sea spraying on his body.. he sings to any spirits that may be present.
This is how he met the bipedal inorganic life-form “Atlanty”, who quickly became one of Sunday’s best friends. During the time Sunday was living on that island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean..
[link] He and Atlanty were always doing lots of silly mischievous things.. such as scribbling Homer’s Iliad in the sand with the big toe of their left foot.. backwards!

Beachelf notes:
1) We people are so thick and dense that we usually never see inorganic life-forms even when they sit in our laps! If we are really really really lucky.. We can catch a momentary glimpse of these wonderful creatures when stuff like smoke or the spray from an ocean wave falls on their mystical and magical essence. And then.. We're never sure if we actually saw something real or if our eyes were just playing a trick on us.
2) This deviation was inspired by "Chu'a" by yuni
3) To construct this deviation.. I used..

When I did collage work, whether with magazines or on the computer, I always had a story to tell, in layers apon layers of images! And I felt that what was covered up still had meaning, I can still remember where I found most of the images I use (I give credit in my heart, but listing the names of hundreds of magazines, photographers and stock photo sites is a bit daunting!)...I'd like to talk to you more about this, the ritual of collage
Ruffly two weeks and two days ago.. I saw this comment.. I've thought about it and thought about it.. And I'm still not sure how to properly reply.
First and foremost.. I want to thank you for commenting my deviation! I'm a BIG fan of your artwork!!! I think you are awesomely brilliant! Your deviations fill my heart with laughter and yearnings to harmonize w/ the the life-force excellence! (God how I wish I could easily and quickly say what's on my mind! I'm trying to say I 'feel' something in my heart when my puppy wakes me up wagging her tail and licking my face and howling like a wolf b/c she needs to go outside and use the bathroom.. I feel this same something when I look at your deviation! I wish to be in tune with energy of life. Your deviations really do make my heart beat faster!!!) Therefore... I GREATLY appreciate you hitting me w/ your thoughts!
However.. I have two difficulties w/ this comment..
1) In this deviation, I wish to portray Sunday in an enlightening and pleasurable explorations of different dimensions. I'm hoping to portray what I feel when I'm blown away at a concert. I do not see Sunday "offering" himself to a 'Lord' any more than I see 'me' offering myself to a wave when I'm on my surf board.. Or to a horse when I jump on his saddle. (I wonder how I can construct my deviations in the future to show the 'fun' and 'comedy of existence' which I'm attempting to project!?!?)
2) Next.. I do not want to deal w/ "Poseidon"! Oh no! I'm not nearly ready for that!!! Rather.. Here we see one of Poseidon's many many children.. An energy as real as the wind.. as individual as a goldfish.. as self aware as me.. And as playfully mischievous as any human boy.
Wow!.. I've written so many words here!!.. I think maybe I should have simply written..
Estéban.. Thanks for the comment!
