Sex becomes a problem when there is frustration. When work, which should be the true expression of our being, becomes merely mechanical, stupid and useless, there is frustration; when our emotional lives, which should be rich and complete, are thwarted through fear, there is frustration; when the mind, which should be alert, pliable, limitless, is weighed down by tradition, self-protective memories, ideals and beliefs, there is frustration. So sex becomes an over-emphasised and unnatural problem. Where there is fulfilment, there are no problems. When you are in love, vulnerably, sex is not a problem. For the one to whom sex is mere sensation, it becomes an urgent problem, eating away at your mind and heart. You will be free from this problem only when, through action, the mind frees itself from all self-imposed limitations, illusions and fears.

#day14

Taking advantage of today's snow with dram 14, Mortlach's 16-year-old expression. The Flora and Fauna bottling of Mortlach 16 was the bottle I brought home with me on my first trip to Scotland, and it remains a sentimental favorite. I don't think the distillery's version has quite the same punch, though.

My #Day16 actually WAS a #Blunder! I tried to do too much. It wasn’t one joke, but 3 in a trench coat.

Drafting the different parts of the scene separately and bringing them together, i failed to integrate them well in either composition or style.

But on #Day14 + #Day18 I WAS able to coordinate multiple designs within a composition successfully.

One difference was these had a clear format & hierarchy: Tarot Cards in a spread & Travel Stickers on a suitcase.

And now? #gobtober #day14 - #brute

This one came together quickly. I suppose that’s not shocking, given my propensity towards comic book style illustrations…
