Trusting to chaos

There are many paths I can walk. I want to walk them all but I have to choose if I want to leave myself to mediocrity or if I want to pursue a single purpose with all my heart. You see I think all those paths are complementary, so there are no reasons to give up on any of them.
There's stories. I like stories and I like to craft stories, and tell them somehow. It doesn't matter the medium I choose, because every medium tells the same story from a different perspective. You can tell Red Riding Hood through a comic, a song, a poetry, a novel, an illustration, and it will always look like a slightly different story each time. The same story, yes, but different details, different mood, different feelings. So I can tell a story using ALL of these mediums, it's just that I need to master them all to complete the work successfully, to craft a single thing made out of so many different pieces.
It will take time, I'll just let things go as they come. As always, I'll let the chaos stream lead me, it brought me along a good path, I can't complain.

Oh, I'm working on a little little project I hope to finish in time (Sept. 1st). 80% done. It's a quite blue illustration, with sea and waves...and the waves are quite challenging to make.

And now, Nautical Twilight, from Tori Amos' upcoming album "Night of Hunters".
