YOUR TORNADOES When I do drawings on natural disasters, like the tsunami/earthquake series of last month, I always think of them as metaphors.  In this case the crazy way our thoughts and feelings can twist us all around, even if all looks peaceful and pretty on the outside.  It’s hard to overcome habitual tornadoes in our mind, those storms we are so used to in our head that we almost would miss them if they were gone.  I think of it often when I see people purposefully create drama in their lives.

It’s true on reality TV shows, where the draw comes from watching people who have interesting tornadoes they are more than happy to share with the world. It’s also true among any who are more interested in feeding the storm than escaping it.

Where are do your tornadoes come from?
