the beany…
March 25th, 2005
…continues to grow, which is encouraging. I’m working my way through the last few months. All I’m reading and seeing is definitely giving me food (and not junk food) for thought. It’s been such an up and down time. Actually a mostly down time. A challenging time might be the best thing to call it.
I think when I began this issue I hoped I’d be able to round it off with some answers - some clear direction. I don’t think I will. I’m very much looking for my answers - where I’m going, what’s next? Sadly, it seems, life doesn’t fit into nice easy to construct chapters with beginning, middle and ends. Or, if it does, I’m somewhere in the middle of a chapter and think I will be for a while.
So this Beany is going to be part of a wider work in progress I think - my life. Still there are lots of drawings, a bit of angst, and pleny of tea and biscuits. What more could I want…?

Michael, I look forward to the second Beany, your narrative of a work in progress. In my life,
direction seems to reveal itself obliquely. I just try to keep alert to clues and signs.
Best wishes,
Laura

I have had a really tough couple of days, myself. I feel this tingly, buzzy fatigue all over and it feels like someone sucked out my brain with a vacuum cleaner. I battled depression for a good part of this winter, and I won the battle, but somedays the lack of Core Energy really saps the joy out of my life. I feel like a rock. I just want to be horizontal and quiet. Picking up a pen is too hard. Sometimes I am amazed I remember to inhale.
I feel for you.
Let’s have a cup of tea, shall we? There. And have a bisquit and some smiles. Isn’t that better?
Really, I think of you often.

Keep on plugging away. I am really looking forward to the next copy. Copy 1 is currently circulating amongst my friends as I try and expand your band of subscribers!
I am a firm believer in the healing power of tea and biscuits.

It is such wonderful news that The Beany #2 is bubbling along. It is very tantilising to see the registration marks on the graphic that you posted.

I’m looking forward to Beany #1 in the post. So hearing about Beany #2 taking shape is very exciting! Wishing you all the best. I’m sending *good energy* your way

The story doesn’t end but maybe a chapter comes to a close with the completion of a second Beany! Yeah! I can’t wait to see what you have drawn and written about during this down time so full of changes.
I was at acuputncture yesterday and they told me spring is a season full of energy waiting to get out. It is a creative time for all once you open the path to the page. Find your way baby step by baby step….
