ARE WE LISTENING
This is a bird of hope
that flies around our spinning Earth,
carrying messages from the world’s children.
Are we listening?
The words framing the children’s bird of hope
are by William McDonough,
architect, thinker, author and a leader in the
sustainability movement.
“How do we love all the children,
of all species, for all time?
Please notice that I am not just saying our children;
I am saying all of the children.
And notice I am not just saying our species,
I am saying all species.
And notice I am not just saying now,
I am saying for all time…”
A book celebrating the rights of children,
CATCH A DREAMER, 64 pages of art and poetry,
can be seen at:

If I could wear the snail’s curved house
like a rainbow helmet on my head
and if I could see the silvered whale
emerging from his watery bed
Then I would sing a prayer for all
the creatures of this world
from the smallest snail to the biggest whale
That we and they will all prevail

Aside from cats and horses, Alice, like
many wild women out there, is a fan
of dancing in the street and in department stores,
Possibly in delicatessens or on the Brooklyn Bridge.
She likes to dance with partners, but is pleased
to dance alone…to show her stuff.
There are many kinds of Palaces in her mind, and some
are real. She knows that you don’t have to be part of any
royal family to dwell in a palace of your own concoction.
More to come about Alice.
If you are an Alice type or know of others, feel free to
describe her. I’d like some of your thoughts.
PS She is ageless.

At this point in my life the tides of memory
come rolling in full speed and then slowly retreat
and fade away.
And then a new set of waves sweep in and again
disappear.
What do we remember the most of our childhood?
Do older folks really have a second childhood, or do we
really have three or four or five or six? Maybe we have
so many that we lose count.
How many childhoods are living in you?
I’d love to hear your answers.

Here is the second in my doodle series.
A friend looked at it and said this artwork
is a pointed message about the oil eruption
in the Gulf of Mexico
It might be a visual letter to BP and their associates
and all the Drill Baby Drillers.
What affects the ocean goes beyond the shoreline.
It reaches beyond, to the whole Earth.
Don’t let oil destroy this Earth song.

This is the beginning of a new series from my collection of Doodles.
A mix of fantasy and froth mixed in with words.
Doodles are emanations from the subconscious, because you are
creating images while your thinking of something else.
They simply emerge as if by magic. The tell-tale signs are inky fingers.
And by the way, The doodle collection will be available as prints.
Details of sizes and prices to follow.
