Moody Monday: Industrious -

"Industrious in His Avoidance of Life's Complications"
digitally manipulated photograph by Mick Mather

This week's themed offering, industrious, at Moody Monday hinted at something contrary to the obvious meaning for me. This photograph of a local street person has a variety of connotations in any number of contexts...but, sticking with the concept at hand, I can only pose questions of my own design. In the spirit of one or two of the old 10-minute manager cliches, "even no decision is a decision" and "work smarter, not harder" we can evolve, or in this case perhaps we devolve, into some form of industriousness. Sitting in the sun, letting life wash over you, come what may, surely has a harsh price tag attached. So far, at least on this day, the subject didn't seem to mind.
