The Art I See in 2021

Want to race?
Well, no! Because after your finish line is a very bad place! I wish I could explain to you that
you are in a competition that leads only to ruin and no one wins. But I know that if I tell youexactly what you are doing, and I believe it is wrong, you won't understand or think I am tellingthe truth. It's like eating Soylent Green and saying how good it tastes! At least understand when Leonard Cohen sang, "Ring the bells that still can ring! There is a crack, a crack in everything! That's how the light gets in!" "And, please let the light come in!!!!"-----
Another of Life's Lessons
Now children! Listen as this is a very important lesson in life!
Just because a sign or someone tells you to do something or go
to a certain place doesn't mean you should! Sometimes words and
signs do not reveal the intent they hide! Just remember how good
a worm looks to a fish just before the hook sinks in! And if you don't
listen, you may find yourself on display somewhere!

Walter?
We weren't sure about Walter. Was he a friend or not? We invited him
into our circle, but he quickly let us know that his political views did not
align with ours! And when he ate Bill's cat at one of our meetings, we
decided it was time for him to go!
-----
The kids
It is nice to see the kids playing and getting along with each other!
They did have a nasty argument, but everything seems to be ok now!
I just wish they'd get a good haircut!

Just not sure....
I'm
not sure if I'm on the right planet or not. Some of my friends seem to
be supporting organizations of which they aren't even aware of what
those groups are truly doing. Also, I feel like someone is going to eat
us up if we don't wake up!
No! You can't have my egg! It's not an Easter Egg! So, go look somewhere else!
Tee is not happy that 2020 won. So, he is going to dance away his blues! What 2020 didn't win? And we are now in 2021? Is that different? It sounds the same. Tee is still worried about the education processes for America's youth. He knows that kids need a good education! He will dance on until things are better! Maybe you could join him in dancing!
Contemplating time
I'm contemplating time which certainly seems to keep changing! And so do I for some reason. It makes me continue to say, "Time goes by in one direction, and covers us with mortal dialections*.
It's a friend or an enemy, but it won't let me be!" That makes it difficult to understand! Time! Stand still!
*Dialectic or dialectics, also known as the dialectical method, is a discussion between people that have different points of view about a subject and who want to find the truth through reasoned methods of argumentation.
Why does the alligator smile?
These guys seem to know why the alligator smiles! So, they must have talked to Susan Stockard who told them, "Buddy Stockard says, 'That's why the alligator smiles!'"
2021 Annual Birdie Meeting -
The Birdie leaders considered not having a meeting this year as 2020 was so bad and 2021 seemed to make fun of everything by sounding like, "Twenty, Twenty Won!" The pandemic virus slowed things down, but the Birdie leaders still got together as there was so much to complain about. They got even madder when the usual smart aleck had to ask, "Do you think the Cardinals and the Orioles will make it to the World Series this year?" Now who invited that guy to this year's meeting!
The Questionable World -
This is a world where everything is questioned. I know you think people should always question events and why they happen, but here they just can't agree on anything!
Candy Land?
I'm not sure where I am, but everything looks like candy!
So, I guess I'm ok! I have a sweet tooth anyway! Surely this isn't like the island where Pinocchio went and started to turn into a donkey, is it? What's that? I don't remember having a tail...
Cupcake land
Well, I got out of what I thought was Candy Land, and now I think I'm in Cupcake Land! What could possibly go wrong here! I sure wish I could get rid of this tail that grew out in that last place! Hey! What's that coming out of the top of my head?
The Candy Lover (part 3)
I traveled through what I thought was Candy Land and grew a tail.
Then I went through what I thought was Cupcake Land and grew
some more appendages. Now I'm just going to sit in this new place
and try to figure out what has happened. I certainly feel a lot different than when I started. Maybe I shouldn't have tried to learn the four food groups from the movie, "Elf" as it seems I still have one level to go.
The Candy Lover - (part 4)
I seem to have changed quite a lot. Even my friends don't recognize me anymore. I wonder if I should try a different food group. But I still want another piece of candy unless this isn't really candy that I've been eating! What am I turning into?
Stay Forever Young!
Ok kids, you will travel through life and get older, and someday you will be as old as I am now! But I want you to always think about the words to the Bob Dylan song, "Forever Young" as you grow! "And may God bless and keep you always! And may you stay Forever Young!" And may you always be that way in your hearts and minds! And if you do, you will stand upright and be strong no matter what comes your way!
We have been becoming so distant from each other, and this has to stop! We need to work together to solve our many problems!
Make the right choice!
Life is all about making choices and never choose because you are afraid! Pick something that has hope waiting for you! A hope that will come true!
Look up in the sky!
"Look up in the sky! It's a word! It's a name!" "Hey Man, it's supper time! Get in here!"
The Time Traveler
I've traveled a long way through time to reach you, and to tell you that truth is never fiction. Too many of you are believing the untruths told on this planet. So, please listen carefully to what you are told, and then check to make sure that what you have heard is true or false. Investigate! Look at different opinions! Check for the facts! I've come a long way to tell you this, but my many legs have helped!
A friend and I keep having the same arguments and cannot arrive at a conclusion even if it is to agree to disagree. I think it is finally time to give up. I've listed the pros and cons and showed him why he is wrong, but I must not be reaching him with my logic. There just isn't any other reason to continue with the debate. Ok, let's just go get some ice cream and enjoy that! At last, something we can agree on! I want whipped topping on mine!
Discussions!
We've been having many discussions on just about everything that involves existing on this third rock from the sun! We must learn to agree at some place in the middle to figure out some of the hard and difficult things because that is very important! I know that some will never have the ability to add anything good to our world, and to those I say.....
Starting a band!
I'm so glad I got to sing with you all! But, one of you was a little flat on that last song, and if we are going to find a stage to perform on, we'll need a lot of practice to get it right!
What to do when you aren't sure!
We aren't sure who we are, where we are, or what we're doing! But since we are here together, we'd better make the most of it!
"If there’s one good reason, we were put on this earth is to love somebody! The only way to satisfy our hunger and thirst is to love somebody! I’ve been high and I’ve been low. I’ve been around enough to know the only way to find what you’re looking for is to love somebody! Give it all you’ve got to be is its own reward when you love somebody! Diamonds and rust fade away, all that matters at the end of the day is to give a little, take a little, make somebody feel like the missing part of your heart! Did you whisper to her, listen to her, take away the worries for a little while? Did you make her smile? Did you love somebody? I’ve been high and I’ve been low. I’ve been around enough to know, if there’s one good reason, we were put on this earth is to love somebody!"


Now where did the notion that numbers influence us come from? And why does Friday the 13th happen on any month that starts on a Sunday? And it can happen up to three times a year? What? It comes from the Norse idea about Loki? But he's a trickster! We can't trust him! And why did the Greeks consider Tuesdays the 13th unlucky? And any month that starts on a Thursday will have a Tuesday the 13th in it? What? Italians consider Friday the 17th bad? And any month that starts on a Wednesday will have a Friday the 17th in it? Are any days good? Maybe I have Triskaidekaphobia? If I have that, then I also have Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia! Oh man! Hey wait! I have 12 legs so I may be ok! At least I don't have Dodecaphobia! And I love math! What will I do now? At least I know I can solve 22 divided by 7 by using a fraction! You can't solve it any other way as it would go on forever! And forever sure is a long time!
Fall leaves 2021
I sure am enjoying the fall colors this year!

I see the apple of my eye! Shakespeare said it right when he wrote,
“Flower of this purple dye, hit with Cupid's archery, sink in apple of his eye.
When his love he doth espy, let her shine as gloriously as the Venus of the sky."
Her
love reflects in my eye and shows the love she has for me!
