This is what is on my computer desktop right now.

It was painted by Jacek Yerka, and it pretty much sums up my inner world. Surreal. Fantastical. Improbable. Abundant. Tranquil. Not 'normal'.

(Glad you are lucid this morning Cupcake. It's GOOD to admit you are not normal. Opens the door for recovery.)

Ah, but there lies the rub () I hope I never arrive at 'normal'.

Ever.

Anyway, Yerka is without a doubt my favorite artist. May he live long and prosper.

Sometimes, when I have listened to or read an overdose of world news, I need to be reminded there are millions of people on this planet who are doing good and making beauty. Creating and not tearing down. Promoting life and not destroying it. Defending freedom and not trying to strangle it to death.

This picture reminds me.

Come on over, looks like we could have apples in any form you might like to dream up. I'll get the stove going, and put the kettle on. Let's create something warm and wholesome and healing together.
