trilobite w/bumbershoot

Illustration Friday prompt: prehistoric 
(I remember having one of these embedded in a rock when I was little - thought it was the coolest treasure - amazing to think you can touch the imprint of something from 500 million years ago!)

a one-line pen & ink drawing w/Inktense pencils

As Trilly left his house that day
he took his brolly on his way
for he heard the news man say,
"Be prepared for rain today."

But the rain that fell on down
was not the kind you want around
and in an instant all were bound
to be fossils in the ground.

IF: transportation

one-line pen and ink

Imagination: the fastest transportation.

teaching:

the art form whose medium is learning

tomb:

a symbol of sorrow - but not so when the stone is rolled away and what was becomes what is and what is to come...

teacher:

It is the soil, the rain, and the sun that nurtures the seed into the production of fruit and therein another seed.

testing:

Seems that every day is a series of tests with little time to study. As a fraction I suppose it would look like this:

------What you know------
What you ought to know

Multiply this by silence and you have a more rewarding outcome.

then:

Proverbs 2:5

...then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God.

Here it is...THEN...the ifs of the last two days come into fruition. The if is the treasure map; the then is the treasure.

truth:

The light that shines in the world.

thanks:

touching remembrance, the taste of gratitude, the sight of a well set table, the smell of turkey and yams, the sound of knife to plate while children laugh and adults converse, the taste of gratitude...

tea:

It is the taste of morning and a good book.

teaching:

Lighting a candle to show a path and then walking forward together. From mind to heart to hand, the activity of revelation.

time:

Delicate like the aged or the child's hand - both old and new at once: a newspaper article and the ancient wood it is written upon.

Segmented like the sand of the seashore and yet as a collective whole it offers the beauty of a beach.

The dust of a moment becomes a raindrop, becomes a puddle, becomes a creek, becomes a river: collecting and moving and always increasing...
