3 + Yellow =

Aloha, Friend!!


Please click on the photos
"Some people never go crazy.
What truly horrible lives
they must live."

Charles Bukowski




"The worst enemy to creativity
is self doubt."

Sylvia Plath



"Our lives
teach us
who we are."

Salman Rushdie

><>


Two gentlemen
were looking at masterpiece paintings
in a famous museum.

One criticized every picture.
He judged them quickly.

"That one's OK. That sucks.
Next!"

Finally, the guard,
who took the job to be around great art,
couldn't take it anymore.

"Sir,
these paintings are understood to be great
by those of education or native wisdom,
and have been for centuries.

THEY are not on trial here; YOU are."

The "Gentlemen" decided to go to a movie instead.


Let us be quicker to enjoy what's right
and less trigger-happy
to criticize.


ALOHA, cloudia

    But I don't care for Pollock. I suppose I am found guilty even though I have hung his work many times.

    the worst enemy of creativity is mental exhaustion.

    I love Sylvia Plath's quote. So appropriate.

    Happy Easter.

    That's wise advice indeed. I used to cringe whenever I went to the museum for precisely the same reason. Listening to the supposed "experts" critique the works as if they were the ultimate arbiters of artistic integrity...made my stomach queasy.

    It's a lesson I try to teach our kids, as nothing is more disturbing than watching people "turn" in this way.

    Hope you're having a lovely Shabbat!

    I like the guard's approach. The museum isn't a test either way. It requires an openness to expression. All communications are valid.
