Doodle
gel pen on 90lb Stonehenge paper
7 1/2 x 5 5/8 inches
I usually doodle in front of the television. This evening, as I was getting out my pens, that stupid Cheerios commercial with the Donovan song came on. I adore the song in the commercial, but I’m kind of disgusted that it’s being used to pimp a breakfast food. O ick.
Anyway, if you aren’t familiar with the song, give it a listen. It’s very nearly perfect in every way, I think, and you can probably see why it appeals to me. Little boats and circles and all… There really is a method to my madness.
Little pebble upon the sand
Now you’re lying here in my hand
How many years
Have you been here?
Little human upon the sand
From where I’m lying
Here in your hand
You to me are but a passing breeze
The sun will always, shine where you stand
Depending in which land
You may find yourself
Now you have my blessing, go your way
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea
Everybody is a part of everything anyway
You can have everything if you let yourself be
