Pretttttty! My car has (ahem) never been detailed, expect the one time I got swiped by a giant truck and had to take it to the collision repair place. When it was returned, I thought I'd been given a brand new car.

OMG. I was literally googling "serving platters that look like fruit and veg" a couple weeks ago. So expensive, but I want all of these. Plus additional platters and bowls that look like other veg and fruit. Sigh. I won't be buying them, but I can drool.

Always my terror!

I’m thinking the same. The dream felt urgent, but the person seems just fine. They’re the type who might laugh at the story, though?

Good point!

What about if it’s a disturbing dream, in which they’re not doing well? Like, verging on nightmare and realistic. Would you spring that on them?

Do you tell them about the dream?

There's a reason authoritarian regimes crack down on artists first. Because ART speaks to people more than anything else in this world. ART informs our hearts and our minds. Art forms bridges between our souls. Art heals what the world breaks.

So yes. Promote the art. Keep making the art. Please.

Your mom seems like a pretty special lady. I know where it got it from! 😀

Thanks! It’s cathartic and tough to write at the same time.

Rain drop/tear drop. Works both ways in this city of extreme rich and poor.
