"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.”

"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.”

" Days of summer come around with humid flashes of heat and bursts of sunlight that dance the day away. They build when morning breaks and creep or crawl till the Sun looks down over all around you. Then quickly, ever so quickly afternoon sets in and before you know it the sun is yawning and pulling its soft blanket of nighttime over itself leaving us with the ever present nightlight turned on until it wakes the next day.
During its reign we give thought to this or that and are pulled in every direction. One thought unfolds one answer and leads our mind to the next folder which is directly related to the question which caused us to try to uncover what we had stashed away in the file cabinet of our mind. One simple thought can unfold a panorama of endless treasures of experiences, relationships, travels, friends and family.
Engaging with a painting on those days of summer can tell us what we want to experience again, remind us of what has been away from our most precious thoughts, or lead us to a place of refreshment and renewal.
Early comes the day and early comes the night and with all that is in between beauty is all around us.
God willing, we’ll talk more about this in the future." POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“Finding my way to ponder before the living sea
Takes me to so many places I really love to be
Breathing deep the air, taking in all the scents
Gifts me with the feeling, I’m truly happy I went
Seeing the color and watching waves come to be,
All giving me a glimpse of the coming eternity!”
“Open up to the beauty and power that paintings give to your life. May you find them and treasure them as they will give you more than you give them. Have a great week!”

"I became real conscious of our consuming, social, internet, active, no time society this week. On one occasion after waiting on a scheduled appointment and just starting our meet the person abruptly announced that they had to leave almost immediately because they were supposed to be somewhere else. Next came the interruptions of emails with no purpose but to be forwarded. This was followed by Emails with nothing to offer but getting me on their list. Then I had to read this email which did nothing more than tell me or anyone else reading it that there was nothing more important in life than them. These were followed by a series of unscheduled instructional emails telling me I had to do something and when I got there; there was so much traffic on their server I could not even complete the request it was so slow. The final session appeared when dinner was interrupted by a friend who just popped in at dinner time to sit down and talk about what she needed and what was happening in her life.
Today we have a propensity for everything being about us, even this Blog Burst has that flavor. But, my point is in the midst of all this one may want to consider a couple of profound sayings, “in order to have friends one must be friendly” and “love your neighbor as yourself”. While they sound good, I wonder how much time we ponder what they really mean.
Stress, self-absorbed living and no thought or even time to think and consider leads us further and further away from health, happiness, serving and giving to others, and living. That’s why I’m always reminding you of spending time with a great painting that moves your heart and soul. It will refresh you and remind you of what’s really important.
We’ll talk more of these things soon." POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“All the hustle, all the bustle and it’s not a holiday
Don’t consider the Reaper and what one may have to pay
Don’t think about what I’m doing or where or even when
I’m so overwhelmed I can’t see the tunnel let alone its end
Help me stop and consider all the things here and around
Let me see, feel, hear and understand the things profound!”
“Stop; spend time with a great painting that reminds your heart of hopes and dreams. Have a great week!”

"The weather is running amuck all over the country, but wasn’t it a great weekend to remember and honor those who serve and have served to keep our country fee.
I was as usual struck by the changes going on as they usually do this time of year. Winter and spring give way to summer which in so many ways we all look forward to. You know “those lazy, hazy crazy days of summer …”. The light is changing and the days are longer and the nights blacker with those white dots sparkling brighter in the sky. I was reminded of “to everything there is a season”.
The light at this special interim time has its own unique quality and calls out to be seen in a momentary glance before it disappears completely or moves on. The shadows and their affect on the surfaces they touch enhance those lights and the blend and uniqueness of the color warms heart and mind and soul.
No matter what’s going on in your life it’s a time of reflection, self examination and hopeful pondering as the magnificent canvas that we live in moves and changes around us.
We’ll talk more about these things soon." POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“I went out to discover and see the dance of the day
Not many words and not much for people to say
Just beautiful scenery sprawling forth covering the land
So many wonderful colors set before the eyes of man
How can I grasp what is before me on days of color and light
I surely don’t know but it takes me to new heights.”
“Find those alluring paintings that feed your very being, whether on canvas or in setting all around you. Have a wonderful week!”
