Art Journal: S.S. Duckington

Today, I'm just being silly. I was taking a bath and thought, "What if the Elven ships weren't swans but rubber ducks?" And here's the result.

And yes, full disclosure, I have a rubber duckie for the bath. Why? Because it's silly and I can.

I actually didn't have one of these growing up. I played with dinosaurs, tiny floating model boats of WWII ships, and these capsules that you drop in water that dissolve and become foam shapes. Most of mine were, again, dinosaurs. I was rather obsessed with saurids as a little girl. That and horses, but mostly dinosaurs and dragons. While other girls were playing house with Barbies and other dolls, I was playing house with a hot pink compsognathus.

Or I was building Lego houses and castles. I loved any toy that let me build with it.

So I was at the store and I thought, "I've never had a rubber duckie. Let's get one."

Anyway, I had an interesting experience the other day. There was a parade scheduled, and I'd been waffling about watching it--also waffling about whether or not to take a walk as I was feeling tired but needing to get out. I waffled all day, and around afternoon I'm sitting on the couch playing No Man's Sky with the blinds drawn, when suddenly right outside the window I hear a marching band.

It's the parade! Right outside my balcony. Well, I can't refuse such a blatant offer, so I went outside and enjoyed the parade. Since I'm on the second floor, I get a nice view of the street that doesn't make me queasy if I look down. As soon as I sat down, the first truck goes by and I hear, "Merry Christmas!" and I see a girl waving and looking at me. First thought in my head is, "Yazhi." as I'm automatically waving back, grinning.

I tend to trust the first thought in my head, especially when it comes like that. This isn't the first time she's been here. That was a nice gift, thank you, Yazhi! How fun of you to show up in a parade. Of course you would. At the head of it, no less.

By the way, it was a short parade. It's a small town. But I liked it nonetheless. And that it was right outside my door makes me laugh.

I mentioned playing No Man's Sky, and I will glow about this game just a little bit. First, where has this game been all my life? This is the space game I've been wanting to play so badly. EVE Online didn't cut it, too much reptilian influence--very cut throat mechanics that just stressed me out. Plus, you couldn't exit your ship. And I couldn't find any other ones that let you do space stuff and land stuff while looking stylish in terms of graphics.

Except this one. This one lets you do it all...minus multiplayer. I have a Nintendo Switch and that currently doesn't have online multiplayer yet, but that's okay! Worth it so far. It's keeping me occupied on days when the rest of me needs to rest. A win in my book.

I am, however, currently terrible at space combat. I'm sure I'll get better, I usually get better at most things with a little practice, but my word, don't put me in charge of anything combat related. That said, I bet in a week of practice, I'll be blasting pirates out of the sky just like I used to blast my brother out of the sky in Star Fox.

Last topic before I go. The concept of "twinning" as it relates to frequency signatures. I may write a larger post about this, but it doesn't feel "baked" enough to do so just yet. So I will mention it here almost as a footnote.

As a soul, you have souls you like to travel with lifetime to lifetime. There are varying degrees of closeness with these souls when it comes to your frequency and theirs. Those closest to you are often those you incarnate with as immediate family, lovers, and best friends. Then you have varying layers outside of that in terms of closeness--just like you do while incarnated, though the layers at the soul level are just a concept.

Anyway, there are some souls that are so close to you that you are counterparts, which is to say your soul is so similar in resonance that you seek them out over and over again. And any one of these counterparts could end up "twinning" with you for one or more lifetimes. This isn't a permanent state, nor are you the same "soul" at the individual ego level, but you are extremely entangled with one another because for the moment, your souls are resonating at the same frequency signature (or so close it's a click or two different).

There's more to unpack. This is what I'm sure-ish of at the moment. I will say I dislike the term "twin flame" as there's a ton of New Age garbage programming surrounding that term. I would prefer not to use it and so I won't.

As for who is "twinning" with me? That would be 'Yanna this lifetime. Definitely explains some things. Seraphel has had that honor other lifetimes, but this time it's 'Yanna. I think we've been building toward this for a while (lifetimes) now. I think it started when we were sisters in Italy.

I shall let this bake a little more.

I thank you for your time. Adiamas.
