MINDY SEEGER ARTIST 

Is the muse no longer amused? Is she sick of me? Is she coming back? These pathetic questions are all part of the ebb and flow. No one wants the ebb. This is sadly my creative process. The blank canvas that sits in the corner until the moment of inspiration. And then the flow that blows me away. How...

How hard is it to be brave? Is it as hard as feeling like a coward? In the past I know I was brave when a few intense life events descended upon me. But was I only brave in a dramatic scenario? Aren’t there a million every day opportunities to be brave? I think those are harder to do. In an extreme...

Anything can happen to anyone at any time. What a horrible idea. Who can feel relaxed under those circumstances? Where is my protective bubble? Maybe it’s in the fantasy store I made up in my mind, where you can also purchase a unicorn sandwich. Life will always unfold as it’s meant to. It was my un...

I was ready for something new to happen. I sent this request to the celestial mini-mart but got no response. It occurred to me that even though I was saying I wanted something to happen, my behavior was telling a different story. How can I say I want something new when I was still eating the same ex...

You’re not who I thought you’d be because I made you up. Why did I do that? Like Doctor Frankenstein, I stole bits of other people and stitched them together. I reanimated my past and brought it to life again through you. The thrilling “It’s Alive!”, followed rapidly by the monster I created who wan...

My mother called me a little squirrel. Not for my bushy tail or rapid movements, but because I was always finding and saving treasured objects. They might not have been of great value but I didn’t know that at the time. As I grew up, I noticed I had an abundance of treasures I no longer cared about....

Insecure. Lacking in confidence. Needs a reflective mirror. These unattractive emotions usually appear after I have stepped way too far out on a limb. The tree branch can support me, so it’s not the fear of falling, but a fear of how ridiculous I look standing all alone on the end of that branch. Da...

If we all hold sparks of the divine shouldn't we be much happier? Do we just not claim those sparks? Do we assume that a spark is not enough to embrace our divinity? Do we need to know just how much of a spark we’ve been given? Do I have enough sparks? I think it’s really up to the individual. The q...

I have very big ears. It’s almost like they were meant for a much bigger head. Did I not reach my full head potential? Are my ears a signpost of how much further I need to grow? When I was created did they run out of normal sized ears? These are great questions to which there are no answers. All the...

I decided to make this sixty third post my final thoughts for the year. I wonder what will happen in the new year. It’s great fun that I haven’t a clue. I always like to pretend I know where I’m going and what will unfold, but I don’t know. I also like to pretend that I know in advance what I will a...
