Life does not always play from the book you have in mind. As a matter of fact expectations seem to have gotten all of us in a shit load of trouble lately. My day seems to have been so much collateral damage. I've got to get better at planning rather than waiting for others to come through.
At least I'm back to my daily walk - trying to quell the demons.
But sometimes a little rage is in order.
Trying to forget the aging process and the politics and global warming, which ruined my skiing birthday plans and family members who were too preoccupied to even give me a card! (Now I sound like Eeyore) - I went to the museum as usual to loose myself in art. This time it was Picabia at the MOMA. What a weird complicated man and artist. Extremely skilled at all he did, it seemed he could not settle on any one vision and so he dabbled in all. I'm not sure I like much of what was there much as I appreciated it. The painterly skill. The intellectual depth. There was also an aspect of the dilettante about him for all of his ability and influence. But one image struck for its vision and prescience. It's chilling to see.
Picabia's Worship of the Sow was a reference to the blind worshipping of Hitler by the masses.
Remind you of anyone?
So yes a little or a lot of rage is a good and a necessary thing right now. We are going to need this fuel to counter the destructive forces at work trying to tear apart our government.
But also a little kindness. These are the flowers I bought for my birthday.
