Honoring THE JOY of the
JOURNEY by
CREATING with STUFF
When
we were itty bitty babies we learned that:
Dave is a rare mysterious Forest
Wizard type of guy
who builds GIANT PUPPETS and zooming
Eyeballs in his spare time
when he's not molding, drilling or
painting little sets of wearable horns.
He's the dude behind the scenes who
knows how to make Tree Bark.
Happily embracing the potentiality
of all things! Dave and Cindy have a Shoppe
at the Texas Renaissance Festival
and live nearby in a totally awesome cozy nook.
Eyeballs Away!

Satyr Horns Shoppe

He even makes his own Comics! Dave Sheppard. What an Inspiration!
the Time-Warps of
So, it came to pass that in the late
afternoons of October
the Dollmaker could have been seen
from the highway-
a lone figure shuffling
through heaps of white
Day-of-the-Dead Ashes
...her former Abode...
Floating, crunching, trailing her
long shadow
across a surreally twisted, barely
recognizable acre of rubble...
But even an astute passing observer
could not have detected that
the Dollmaker had barreled into a
Time-Warp
..as she stood, frozen to the spot,
overcome by the sudden realization
that
she was a living witness to
The
End.
THE END had come as we all knew it
would.
How weird.
To be able to see what happened in
the end.
wow.
Disconcerted and somewhat
disembodied,
with the evidence of actual DUST
everywhere as if to drive home a point,
the Dollmaker had to wonder
(for the 8 millionth time):
Just exactly what WAS all this
about anyway?
From her viewpoint at
The End...
( Meryl Streep sitting in her
windowsill in England, reflecting...
"I had a farm in
Africa...")
The sun was setting in the West on
an abandoned Movie set!
But Then the Angel of Obvious
Practicality came unto her and Quoth thusly:
If Time were LINEAR, it would be
The
End
But, if Time were CYCLICAL...
It's BACK TO THE BEGINNING YOU GO...
OH! RIGHT! No Problem!
Right BACK to taking Delight in
THE
JOY of the JOURNEY
Right ON!
Back to Earth! Where
