This week’s CraftNight totem animal is the alligator.
If you’re an alligator, you know that it’s all about waiting.
Wait patiently for what you want. Hang out in the mud and the sludge, and embrace the quiet, and sooner or later, something delicious is going to come wading through the water.
It’s inevitable.
Once it’s in your sites, GRAB IT IN YOUR BONE-CRUSHING JAWS AND DON’T LET GO!!!
Of course, if you’re not an alligator, and you’re wading around in what seems to be a peaceful and quiet swampy landscape… I’d probably seek higher ground, but that’s just me.
We’re living in extraordinary times, if you don’t know the answer to something, you can just look it up on the internet, and never know the angst of experiencing an unanswered question ever again. “Not knowing” is becoming an art. Instinct, the hunch, the tingly sensation at the back of your neck, or the itchy palms you get when someone says something really weird: these things are not to be dismissed or forgotten.
The alligator knows all about intuition.
Are you listening to the subtleties of everyday life?
Do you know when to hide in your lair, or poke your eyes above the water, or take action and snap?
Are you gathering, absorbing and digesting things in a way that is fulfilling to you?
These are, like, totally deep questions. While alligators are deep… gator clips are decidedly not deep.
At CraftNight, this alligator clip magnet thing is so easy, you could probably put it together with one hand tied behind your back, it’s very uncomplicated. Seriously, it practically makes itself! This is an excellent introductory craft, or one to make when you’ve had more than three cocktails, because it won’t ask that much of you. Come in and try it!
See you at the Craft Table,
