This was my driveway yesterday. Today I had to plow over a foot of snow but yesterday's snow fall was light enough to shovel by hand.


I got bored and separated the snow into territories, shoveled some patterns, made a mess.. however you want to look at it.


This method was really inefficient and took much longer to get the driveway clean. But I had time and no where I had to be so the point wasn't to clean it the fastest, most efficient way. The point was to have fun.
So from the point of view of a plowman, whatever they're called, all those pointless lines were mistakes.. making the job more difficult... True but why does difficult have to be a negative thing? Like in life, those mistakes only become mistakes if you don't clean them up... otherwise they are opportunities for fun... for sliding... for twisting and turning.
I had to be more creative to clean up the mess, my shovel needed to move in 3 dimensions. It turns out being squiggly is more efficient when it comes to the details, the weird boundaries and if not really, then certainly more fun. Life is both the straight lines and the squiggles.
That was yesterday, today I cut my hair... I did not take the same approach. Well actually.. I kinda... wish I documented that too.
