BLOG BURST:
" Each day most of us wake up and try to get adjusted to what sleep and unawareness has done. Our minds start to focus on the laundry list of things undone and the tasks that this particular day needs to have completed. Stupefied we move from literally getting out of bed to the beckoning of the bathroom. Once that ordeal is over a series of choices lay themselves out before us.

The routines and the daily grinds are always in conflict with what we personally feel is a priority. Those always seem to be at the battlefront. Then there are the wants and desires which weave themselves in and out of our daily endeavors, always playing havoc with our minds and our thinking.

Once in a great while there is a still, small, cool breeze whispering in our subconscious ear that we need some alone time, some place of peaceful respite. And most of the time we answer with that dreadful loud inner voice with “No, not now, I just don’t have the time.”

Unfortunately too many of us continue this answer which eventually breaks down our endeavor, our relationships, our self consciousness, our control and we didn’t even see it coming. Here’s where a beautiful, meaningful message giving painting can remind us and even take us away for a small breath we so long for. It doesn’t always resolve the conflict going on around and through us but it so reminds us that action is warranted and necessary. One warning though is that if we never pay any attention to it, it will wither and die, not on the vine but on the very walls before us.

Find great paintings, let them send messages to your heart!"


POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“Things that once were and things that truly are
What was very close can be seen only from afar
Time does not always make provision you know
People to whom you were linked can end up as a foe
What we think is fact, possibly will not truly be.
Have we looked close enough and really come to see?”

“Paintings are reminders of things of your heart and mind. Look at the walls around you fresh and new and see what you put there to remind yourself of you. Have a great week ahead!”

BLOG BURST:
"Hot days, warm nights, and movies of the future where the world has dramatically changed and everyone left alive is scraping for the necessities. They’re killing each other, eating each other, and being as evil as that old serpent himself.

Aren’t we fortunate to live in a country that even though it has hundreds of shortfalls it is still one of the most amazing and wonderful countries in the world. And yet, here we are without time or thought to some of the choices that lay before us or that we have already made. We don’t have time for this and we don’t have time for that. We want it the way we want it or you out! There is no more God, no more oaths, no more church, family or country. We just don’t have the time! Or, we don’t make it. If it doesn’t fit in our plans, you’re out. Were pressed on every side to meet the daily schedule before us and live up to others’ expectations. When we don’t, time to move out and move on. You know, get on with your life.

I’m not talking about anything you don’t know. What I’m trying to make you focus on is those precious little things that make a difference. Time is one of the most precious! It’s time to stop, time to look, time to listen, time to reflect, time to ponder, time to visit, time to talk, time to understand, time to be with, time to do what’s right, and time to make the right choices or make the choice right.

If you took a brief few precious moments and looked deeply into a painting that truly has captured your heart’s emotions, it could just lead you down that reflective, pondering, seeing road to help you make decisions in the future; as well as take steps to heal your past.

Those are Just a few thoughts to ponder till a few more come along."


POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“Caught in the middle; pushed and pulled on each side
Not knowing when it would explode or where to hide
Never really just called a halt to all that was going on
Run and run till overcome from that woeful thorn
Where have we gone; where have we been, not sure
But know must spend time to open that right door”

“Paintings aren’t like mirrors they don’t reflect; they look through you! If everything is about you, take some time and ponder where you are and where you’re going. Have a great week ahead.”

Jul 11th “When You’re Hot, You’re Hot”

BLOG BURST:
"There has been a lot of “Hot Air” around from South to North and from East to West. There has even been a heavy concentration of it in the DC area. But, then again there always seems to be a heavy concentration of hot air and stuff there.

So what is it about the word “hot”? Wait; hot food! She looks hot. There’s a hot guy. You are playing so well you are hot. How hot is that? That’s a hot product. I don’t care how hot it is we are still going. Boy, are they hot. Girl you are hot. That person is full of hot air. That’s icy hot.

Funny how we adopt words and change their meanings to match what someone put together for some reason and it catches on. Next thing you know it’s the word of a particular time or a word of a whole generation.

That painting is hot. Those stolen paintings are hot. That was a hot painting in its time. I wouldn’t touch that it’s hot and the alarm will sound.

When I stood before that painting it just brought tears to my eyes. Isn’t that cool?"


POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“We change words and meaning to suit a thought
Some stand the test of time others go to pot
We set standards and vows we’ll never break
And after saying that somehow we made a mistake
We think that what’s right is wrong and wrong is right
Until we face the real truth which gives us such a fright.”

“When you look into certain paintings, they look back through you. If you find one, you will enjoy it for a lifetime. Have a great week.”

July 4th "Happy Birthday Citizens! – Enjoy!!"





















"United States Constitution"

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Constitution of the United States of America is the supreme law of the United States. It is the foundation and source of the legal authority underlying the existence of the United States of America and the federal government of the United States. It provides the framework for the organization of the United States government and for the relationship of the federal government to the states, to citizens, and to all people within the United States.

“Celebrate by encountering a painting that reminds you of the privileges you have. Have a great weekend and a great week!”
