What's wrong with a little mess?...





I find this fascinating as both a lover of organisation and an artist with a messy aesthetic. 
I find the concept of tidy quite ironic, as it's extremely subjective. How can we say that everything is in its right or wrong place when we have defined where they should go. I feel the image below demonstrates this perfectly;


Take a few minutes... to experience whole days


If there's only one thing you do today to procrastinate, then make watching this it;


There is something so peaceful about watching the sea. I find it's peaceful to different people for different reasons. It's quite a tranquil, personal experience. A time for reflection, or possibly simple appreciation of what we have and/or what nature has to offer us


There's something reassurring about watching the tide ebb and flow, a natural movement and process which will always happen. No matter what happens, the sea will always be there. Faced with global warming (and general environmental crisis), it may become polluted, or even swallow islands whole. But the constant changing of the tides, the whoosing of the water as it crawls up and slides down the coastlines, that will never leave us. That's one thing in this world that we can hold onto, even when there's nothing holding onto us
