"There is much virtue in a window. It is to a human being as a frame is to a painting, as a proscenium to a play, as 'form' to literature. It strongly defines its content."

In the third book that i'm actually writing i wrote :
"In scientific literature, it is said that only great apes share with humans a non-oral ability to understand and feel the emotions of others without the intervention of speech. I consider this to be ethnocentrism. First of all, because there are absolutely no empathetic human beings. And then, because I have been with animals all my life. As a magnetizer-experimenter, I shared many intense feelings with them. Any pet owner can hear this: some animals are more empathetic than many humans."
Emil Ferris is one of those humans who you can just sense their utter brilliance. I literally think it's an amazing gift to share the same respiratory space with such an amazing human. I was thrilled to be able to speak to Emil after the Q and A following The Music Box Theater's documentary of Art Spiegelman entitled Disaster is My Muse (This should be available on PBS in the upcoming months according to the director)
I was telling Emil Ferris about this nonfiction book I was reading called Beyond Anxiety by Martha Beck, who speaks about how a creativity cycle can disrupt an anxiety cycle. I think many of us artists in this current political climate are feeling increasingly restless and hopeless. Channeling that into art is a good idea at this time.
In any case, this is a great film and Emil Ferris's My Favorite Thing is Monsters (Book 1 and 2) is absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommended!
In these current times, the monsters are humans who have been given absolute power to enforce their wills and desires on all. Every day is a new horror and destruction of human rights. Some will try to counter this by praying ceaselessly. Others, like myself, will continue to maximize their time on Earth by doing art every spare moment. It is perhaps the only way to cope with the madness of reality and maybe enough of us could create a new world out of the embers left.

Please don't eat the daffodils - ☠️ Bat and Maggie just had to check out the golden trumpet flowers.
Nota Bene: We took extra care to make sure they didn't eat the daffodils although, they are very, very very, smart cats and know what's good for them.
“Daffodowndilly"
She wore her yellow sun-bonnet,
She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
And curtsied up and down.
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbor:
"Winter is dead.”
― A.A. Milne, When We Were Very Young

Title: Is this Literature?
This week’s challenge was really a challenge. How do you make a nice photo of Literature?
So I was thinking of how to do that and finally I did get some ideas. One of them was to make a photo of glasses on a book, with books in the background. When I took the photo the ones with the glasses nearby and hardly any background seemed to be the best, I could even read the text through the glasses. While I did not have a text which was nice I decided to make a text myself and fold that into the book. What I did. But I was wondering if my own text was literature. So it is up to everyone to decide if my text is literature or not…………

Hmmm tryings something a little different here. This is not an HDR image, but some manipulation in photoshop.
Story behind the ruins and the Detroit Book Depository Set
for me, literature and photography walk hand-in hand... realized in Salman Rushdie's words: It is literature which for me opened the mysterious and decisive doors of imagination and understanding. To see the way others see. To think the way others think. And above all, to feel.

It's back to school in Chicago and many other American cities in Chicago and, as the quote taken from Scottish Author Jenni Fagan and her novel, The Panopticon, suggests, the brain is very powerful. We must remember to exercise it to the fullest extent and teach it to learn not just facts about the world, Math, Humanities, and Science, but to have empathy for all people in the world and to read carefully, knowing that "alternative facts" are actually code words for lies and that climate change is a very real thing....we must teach the brain and the heart at the same time about social justice and love for all people, including immigrants and refugees..I'd rather my tax dollars going to the needy than to Trump's golfing. That's what being a good American and also a good human being means.We must also show compassion for all students regardless of race, class, citizenship, or gender identity. These are the ways we teach the brain and the heart to function like a human so that we teach our children well.
