    … a few people have asked which of my photos I hang on my walls at home and the second photo in last night’s missive was one of them and the photo above of an Osprey lifting off from a branch in Lake Pleasant is another one … it is 48″ x 24″ and is in a permanent frame on a dining room wall which allows me to swap it out for other photos when I feel like a change. All total I usually have a dozen or so photographs on my wall in addition to the paintings that are up. I also have a wall that is dedicated to the photographic art by friends of mine and who’s work I admire.

    The photo below was taken from the back deck of a friend’s home above the Pepperdine campus in Malibu where I will be doing a show in September … I love that place. Above the peaks on the left of the image you can see the shoreline of Santa Monica and the homes on the shore close in are on some insanely expensive beach front property … then there is the ocean and the knowledge that far over the horizon there is another land and more people … all of us on this little planet … our self-contained spaceship hurtling through space with no input or guidance from us. About the only thing we can exercise control over is ourselves and sometimes we do not do a very good job of that, but when we do, life is very good.

    This evening I was introduced to some very fine cookies that are made and distributed by my friend Eric’s daughter. They are absolutely amazing and fair warning, they are addictive! The company is called Share Bear Bakes … click to go to her website.

    My friend, Kathryn Lee is doing a free webinar on content creation for your website this Saturday. She does great work and I think you’ll enjoy … and my friend Tom Filsinger will be giving a live presentation at the Sedona Library, VOC branch this Friday on The Psychology of Creativity. between 1PM and 2:30 PM in the Javelina Room.

    Into the weekend for me and the plan is to be back Monday morning. Have beautiful days, smile and choose to find joy in each day you are here. Be kind.

    Though changed as are my songs from youth,
    A voice within my heart still sings.
    “Live thou in tenderness and truth,
    And love mankind instead of things.”
    And often in the crowded mart,
    With wrangling. selfish slaves of men,
    These words like some old song will start,
    And bring me to myself again.

    Often In The Crowded Mart by Max Ehrmann

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
