Morning.  Welcome to Wednesday.

Yep.

Steps:

1.  Outer space.

2.  Inner space.

3.  What makes you mad?  Not peeved.  Not miffed,  Not annoyed.  Not bothered.  But mad – or, as Joni sings in “The Sire of Sorrow (Job’s Sad Song),” what makes you want to “spit out [your] bitterness”?  Draw that.

Keep those pencils in motion!

4.  Title: “Joni Mitchell – ‘The Sire of Sorrow’.”

5.  Date it.

6.  Send it to me.

If you want to read about the Book of Job – the ancient text examining the struggle to maintain faith in times of extreme suffering that Joni used as an inspirational structure for the song, go here.

If you want to read a brief comparison of the Book of Job with Joni’s song, go here.

If you want to read about polio, the virus Joni suffered from as a child and perhaps informed this song, go here.  If you want to read about the strange condition she has suffered from in later life, go here.

And if you want to here her redo of the song with the London Symphony Orchestra, go here.

Regardless, see you at 10:00!

ps:  Extra Credit: What do the janitors of Shadowland look like?  Draw that in a new frame, title it “The Janitors of Shadowland,” and send it to me, too!
