Your writing is sharp and eloquent, and the painting is beautiful.

It’s a strange, strange, strange, weird,paradoxical, wonderful, dangerous, world. Better not to try to make sense of it , rather just live the mystery of it all.

Have you heard? .. Science has determined there was no big bang (something I've always (somehow) known) !!! It's more about black holes!!! I think thats Great!!!

The ring around the bear .. Horrible !! And yet the solitary bear kept living, doing the necessary .. Probably aware of something unintended .. And yet, kept living, doing the necessary, and more than likely enjoying the life ... And secretly thanking the removal of the tightening ring unknowing how, who, what, unconnected it .. It just fell away!!!

Joyful, solitary hermitte!!!

plunging forward, like the bear, with a noose around our necks, or a sword suspended above our heads. Beautiful painting - remember the book Been Down so Long it Looks like Up - maybe upside down is as good as it gets.

I love the image of the black bear, going about his range, fishing, eating berries, doing all the normal bear things, just being a bear, yet with a tight blue lid round its neck. I think there is a lesson there for us.
