What We Have in Common with Horse Statues
When I was visiting a good friend in South Dakota last month, we went to Hill City. It had a dinosaur museum, some good chocolate, and this horse statue. If you look closer, you can see different objects comprising the statue, from fish to human faces.
Lots of disruptions happened this month, and I have to rethink many preconceived notions while planning for the future. I still am writing fiction, and waiting to hear answers on a few submissions, but I also have to think about life outside the writing.
People are filled with many different metaphorical objects. Some of them are fish just swimming and doing their own thing. Others are screaming faces, facing endless cycles of stress. And we do what we can to manage all those figures, while appearing like a normal human being. Writing interests me because we can explore these multitudes, in different contexts.
