Children bubble.

There is a vivacity about their being that brings a spring to their step, a bounce to their hop, an ebullience and sparkle to pretty much every movement they make.

They play with joy, discover with wonder, live with innocence and rapture.

How much we adults can learn from them!

The question isn't, "Do I take a walk?" but, "Should I bring the dog?"

Because she knows when I'm going on a walk. Pacing intently, tail thumping against the furniture, she looks at me with those eyes, then runs off to the laundry room where she knows the harness is.

But do I want to deal with the tugging and pulling, snuffling and sniffing?

Oh . . . probably yes.

Listen to Your Sleeping Dreams! - Tuning In
#psychology #health #art #MentalHealth

So the lesson from my story is, listen to your dreams! What parts of you might you have left behind, things that make your heart sing and that help you connect to yourself and others? If you don’t know, but you nevertheless feel a kind of nagging emptiness in living that you can’t quite define, the clues you need may already be in your own dreams, if you can learn to listen.

Out of the fog

It’s a ‘failed painting’ that obscures the profound power of German Romanticism. Why do we love the ‘Wanderer’ so much?

Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog (c1817) by Caspar David Friedrich.

The hiker stands as a back figure in the center of the composition. He looks down on an almost impenetrable sea of fog in the midst of a rocky landscape - a metaphor for life as an ominous journey into the unknown.

Detox Doodles!

This is a habit of drawing something every time I feel the urge to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching daily!

This one is all about Highland Cows and I struggled with it! Their long fur is hard!

Sketchbook page of Highland Cows drawn in orange ink. At the top is the text Highland Cows and 5/12/25. There are 8 drawing of cow faces. The top left has the cow saying moo. The middle right drawing has the text moo.

Goya’s Coded Love Letter to the Duchess of Alba

Goya neatly clothes himself in his own world of fantasy: He will have her in the end. In life, where the climate is much chillier, it was, alas, to be otherwise.

The Duchess of Alba. Inscribed "Solo Goya. 1797" in the sand and on the Alba and Goya rings. Oil in canvas.

The painting The Duchess of Alba (1797) by Francisco Goya depicts María del Pilar Teresa Cayetana de Silva, the 13th Duchess of Alba, standing full-length on a sandy shore.

She is dressed in a striking black lace mantilla over a vivid red gown, embodying both nobility and Spanish traditional fashion. Her right hand points to an inscription in the sand that reads “Solo Goya” (“Only Goya”), asserting the artist's unique authorship or perhaps hinting at a personal connection between painter and subject. The Duchess wears rings inscribed with the names “Alba” and “Goya,” deepening the intrigue surrounding their relationship.

A dark, grim space that shows a concrete floor and nothing else. In the middle of the concrete floor is a neatly drilled hole, like a manhole without a cover. A ladder protrudes from the darkness of the hole. Beyond, the room extends into darkness. Hanging from above is a glowing sign with white letters. While the glow is predominantly white, it ranges across a number of different colors: yellow, green, pink. The letters say "Open". The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

As we kick off into summer, I always like to think back to just a few months ago when summer was just a dream, and cold was the present reality.

It's so easy to forget, especially in the heat of summer, that nature has her seasons, with different features in each one. Cold in winter, hot in summer, BUT, because nature and weather are unpredictable, surprises aren't unexpected.
