Friday Rants and Raves - February 21

[sarillia]

Hello again! How are you this week?

I had a new idea that may or may not continue depending on the reaction. I've collected thousands of pictures that I use as inspiration. So each week I can include one to pretty up the post and possibly inspire someone else too. This week's picture is a painting by Remedios Varo called Insomnio I:




I love using surrealists for inspiration. Lots of opportunities to use the image either literally or symbolically.

Please do post picture prompts!

This one has gotten me thinking. I never used to have insomnia. I've always been a great sleeper at least until my youngest daugther was born this summer. Now I have insomnia more nights than not. I see a lot of echoes of my own insomniac thinking in this painting. Definitely food for thought.

I'm glad you like it! I will keep posting these and I know I will have a lot of fun picking one out each week. Just got to make sure it's not all Remedios Varo and René Magritte. ;)

I'm kind of the opposite of you. I used to have terrible problems with sleep but they've gotten better as a side effect of treatment for related problems.

I'm so glad they've gotten better; that is really awesome.

Mine is exacerbated by not taking good care of myself (staying up too late, not eating well, not exercising) and having an infant who may or may not sleep through the night. And the hormones. Lord. It can take years for all that shit to get regulated again. LOL
