I can’t stop. I am channeling fungi. Moss is growing out of everywhere, and here are a few new additions to the Mr. Lentz, Wear Nature: Redwood Series II. I am challenging myself to stick to my gut when considering which design to create next. It is definitely a hard task considering that I might want to be influenced by the majority opinion on sites I am selling on such as Etsy.com and my own Online Shop. I think it helps a lot by looking over the photographs I took while on hikes through the forests.
I am considering posting a handful of those in another post, but for now I leave you with this: Remember when you had a summer vacation that lasted 3 months long. Remember when you used to hang out with friends out on your street until the sun went down and the streetlights turned on. Then you would incessantly beat that street light with a tennis ball hoping to knock it offline. Remember when you would tie string to that street light and run it over into the neighbor’s bushes, only to pull it taught as the kid who you knew would be biking down at mach speed passed by. Remember when you used to hail the ice cream truck then run inside and look out the window to see how long he would wait in case you were to actually show your face outside again. Remember when you used to play basketball in your friend’s driveway and every time the ball would fly off the court you would go and chase it into the garden only to break each and every sprinkler head by the end of summer? Don’t let this summer get away from you…
Take a break, call in sick, plan a road trip…
This summer is yours…
Take action and do something fun, climb a mountain, go fishing, eat a crap load of ice cream on a 90 degree day…
Stop reading these asides, turn off your monitor…
Unplug your phone…
And take back what used to be yours. Enjoy your summer.
