Dharma Comics: Thinkaholic

This is a find. I wandered around a bit, and fell into an article about "why we attach to our struggles" and who we could be without them. Snapshot: there's a difference between using your struggles to define yourself, and using your gifts to do so. Which do I want, the life of survival or the life of service? The latter choice is a two-for-one deal. (Assuming I actually understood what I read.)

Translating that to mundane matters like employment is a challenge for me, but maybe that's how I reduce service to survival. This is a break in the clouds for me, maybe. Good thread start, tree, thank you.

The painting I'm working on "talks" about that for me instead of words, so it was cool you posted this cartoon about it today.

A not un-common phenomenon, metaphorically speaking.

What do these 2 pictures together say to you?
What sort of story does it make in your head?

If these images don't illustrate anything to you,
don't feel obligated to say so. This is an invitation
to people who think in pictures or enjoy thinking
about pictures.

1) The sun is trying to hide from the hungry pterodactyls. Run sun run! They have seen you!

2) Some kind of weird spectrum laser weapon guiding in heart shaped anti-cloud bombs.

He tried.
Does he get points for trying?

too many people talking
is anybody listening?
one person isn't talking
what does he have to say?
would anybody listen?

I've read that people with AS tend to care less about gender/sex/orientation than NT people. Personally, I strongly share that view and wonder if you guys do too.

I believe that we all fall on overlapping and intertwining spectrums of identity and expression but it rarely influences how I see or treat people.

The picture on the left - the sun is playing hide and seek with the birds.
The picture on the right - the cloud has belly ache from eating all those hearts, which is why it keeps twitching.

Where else to put the differences between boys & girls?
IDK. So here it is.

They do agree toward the end, though.
