Hello. I've Waited Here For You. For Ever So Long...

A tattoo I designed for myself. If I'll ever get the ink...who knows?

*****

It's Alice's white rabbit surrounded by foolish clocks. The white rabbit has always been an intrigue of mine as it symbolizes not only time but the anxious preoccupation with time. Time to me has always been sort of chaotic in the sense that it's uncontrollable, ever-going, merciless and relentless. Clocks have been man's way of controlling and harnessing an uncontrollable force. An attempt to give a symbol to something is really vague, fleeting and only a shadow of the movement of the universe. The white rabbit and the clocks, then, are a reminder of my place in this reality/universe. That I'm simply passing through for a short period with not much control over the greater happening of the cosmos. I still can, though, attempt to harness and control (to my illusion or dismay even) a tiny part of it -- my life -- to the best of my ability.

Also, the white rabbit is an invitation into the unknown. An adventure for those willing to follow their hearts. Alice jumps into the hole without a second thought (barely even considering how it's possible a rabbit would be running around in a waistcoat yelling 'I'm late!"), so I wish to carry the same courage in my heart to follow it and dive into the unknown -- to follow the white rabbits of my life.
