“Even though a cloud’s white curtain
in a far-off corner flashed,
an’ the hypnotic splattered mist
was slowly lifting
electric light still struck like arrows,
fired but for the ones
condemned to drift
or else be kept from drifting.
Tolling for the searching ones,
on their speechless, seeking trail.
For the lonesome-hearted lovers
with too personal a tale.
An’ for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail.
An’ we gazed upon
the chimes of freedom flashing.”
~ Bob Dylan
“Hopefully things can get back to
pre-prohibition normal, when the only

๐๐๐ ๐ Thanks Boris.
My conclusion is that death’s honesty
will ultimately cure all delusion.
Yet, life itself is no illusion when seen
from a divine perspective. Positive
creation, and negative destruction,
spiralling in tandem throughout
time and space.

I’ve been flat out like a lizard ๐ฆ
drinking (not actually drinking ๐บ

From the cradle to the grave we
all employ masks whilst navigating
this life. Some are imposed on us
by social engineering and cultural
circumstances, while others are
adopted by choice. The way we
choose to interface with the world.
Yet when confronting eternity, all
masks are rendered useless and
must be left behind, exposing the
true self. Masks can be a means of
protection, but they can also limit
spiritual growth.
“For you were once darkness,
but now you are light in the Lord.
Live as children of light (for the fruit
of the light consists in all goodness,
righteousness and truth) and find
out what pleases the Lord. Have
nothing to do with the fruitless deeds
of darkness, but rather expose them.
It is shameful even to mention what
the disobedient do in secret.
But everything exposed by the light
becomes visibleโand everything
that is illuminated becomes a light.”
~ Paul, the Apostle

Those are great watercolours you have below the photos of the high cats, David.
They remind me of the Salvador Dali watercolours of scenes from Dante’s Divine Comedy that my dad had which my sister grabbed first before me after he died.
As for the high cat photos, I was imagining your Uncle Ernie passing a cat in his kitty litter and he imagines the cat singing to him those Johnny Paycheck lyrics, “Put a little something in the kitty and I’ll sing and dance for you…”.
So Uncle Ernie does put a little something in the kitty.
And sure enough the cat does sing and dance for him.
LikeLiked by 3 people
In fact, due to their accomplishments
in the sandbox, Uncle Ernie named his
two cats Kitty O’Neal and Kitty Sharpe
in honour of the two dancers who
made sand jigging, a dance performed
as a series of slides and shuffles on a
sand strewn floor, so popular back in
the 19th century (when Uncle Ernie,
being a notorious kitty fiddler, was
known to frequent dance halls of
ill repute). Plus, Kitty Sharpe does
like to scratch ๐ฑ
