Earth Art — Inspired by Bobby Kountz

“Whole and undivided — integrity! Like us, inside of Typist.” Thalia read from Merriam-Webster. “Do you believe people have souls?”

“Kurt Vonnegut said… ‘Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake.’” Nia replied. “He apparently believed in the human soul.”

Calliope read, “The soul has three parts — intelligence, reason, and passion.”

“Goodness, truth, and beauty?” asked Urania. “A mystery to be contemplated with gladness and praise?”

Thalia plucked a basil leaf and took a small bite. “What about basil flavored ice cream?"

“Now there’s a mystery…” Nia began.

“… we’re not going to pursue.” Cal finished.


Words from Typist:

Feeling better and stronger every day.
I believe “c the invader” is in full retreat.

Vonnegut’s quote sent me querying about this morning.
One search result led me to a Disney film called Soul…

Love the flower/shamrock/chair bottom arrangement! 💚

Basil ice cream might work with less sugar and a bit of roasted garlic? Kinda like creamy pesto (kinda)? 🤔

I loved the movie "Soul"! But Deb doesn't like jazz, so I saw it on my own. ☹️

A day for “Soul Study” it seems? 🤔

I was tempted to interpret the quote from Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., on art and souls, as a tap of the reins to get me on with carving!

For my sometimes boggy brain, the Bobby Kuntz inspired photo is of your doormat, solid body stained deck boards peeking through, sporting freshly picked flowers from your land? The pattern of the mat imparts an industrial element, the deck boards an earthy quality, then topped with flowers in all their floweryness from the realm of natural beauty! That might just be me “mansplaining” from the perspective of a colorblind set of eyes. 🙃

Whatever you’re doing in the creative realm, don’t stop!

BEATLES:

I have to admit it’s getting better

It’s getting better all the time

Getting so much better all the time!
