Let’s play Rorschach Test. You know, that fun psychological evaluation exercise where you are shown an inkblot picture and you get to decipher what you see in it? Before you read any further, look at the above picture and think about what it says to you.
This is an experiment because I don’t have any idea what people will see.
So go ahead. I’ll wait.
You can post in the comments what you thought if you’d like. I’d love to see what everyone has to say.
If you said that it looks like an air hockey game, that would be correct. But if you never had any knowledge of air hockey, you might not say that.
I was going to title this post “The Goal of this Blog” but that seemed so generic and I’m not a very generic kind of girl. When I think about the word “goal” the first image that comes to my mind is an old air hockey game from the 1970s. You might picture a goal chart, a mountain, your own personal goal, a star or something that is significant to you. I see air hockey, a game from my childhood.
As I said in my last post, I have this outrageous idea that through using our imagination, we can create a peaceful and loving world. It is outrageous to me because I am still working on personal issues such as self-love and self-worth. Maybe you are also.
Most of us have something in us that we need to overcome. Sometimes it is a limiting belief that has been handed down from our parents, who had it handed down from their parents. Maybe someone said something negative to us as a young child and we took it to heart. Our hearts need to be healed. Our inner children need to be healed.
I look at this blog as a social experiment to help myself and others restore our innocence through imagination and play, and to see where it takes us. Hopefully, it will go far, like Buzz Lightyear always says: To Infinity and Beyond!
It’s my sincere hope that I continue on on this path of healing and that you join me.
Always,
Alice Always
Please comment below if you see something different than an air hockey game. I’d love to hear about any different perceptions of this picture.
to me it looks like two ghosts wearing bowler hats, playing frisbee in front of the space needle in seattle
Wow, what an amazing perception! I like the way you think, Chef Ronbin Loon! By the way, I love your name! It’s so delightful! I bet you are a wonderful chef who makes delicious dishes!
