Little Pig, Little Monkey

So I am watching a video on YouTube--a baby monkey riding on a mini Havalena's back (that's a pig).  That little monkey hung on for dear life and when someone grabbed it and it fell off, you should have heard it scream.  The little fella took off after it's 'mommy' screaming the whole way. (Boy can those things run fast!)
The little pig tried to get away, running as fast as its legs could go, but that determined monkey jumped back on.  I don't think that the pig liked the monkey, as it was constantly trying to knock it off by climbing through low fences.  Still that critter held on, hugging that pigs back like a child being separated from a favorite toy.
I am not sure what the back story of these two is, but it is pretty funny.  Little pig, little monkey.  
I think this is exactly what happens when we try to get away from some habit or memory.  The harder we try to shake the freeloader, the harder it clings.
Maybe some olive oil would help remove the hitchhiker--at least it would provide some much needed lubricant to a sticky situation. 
Oh the places one can go on a computer.

  1. Hey Sharie, thanks for your thoughts on my work. Your body of work is AMAZING! Yea, I love Julia and I love the whole process of majoring in fine arts. I've been trying to think of a time when I have seen your work at a show, but once again my mind is failing me. I would love to see a show of yours though! My senior thesis show should be happening by the end of next year. I'll let you know exactly when if your interested. Thanks again!
