Nia appreciates skirt fringe and asks, “What are they looking at?”
“Their nehhhx-t moooov —” Thalia keeps her head down as she sketches a raccoon. “Ehhv-ree wahhhh-n gets to decide for themself!”
“Hmmm… girl and dog offer inspiration…” Calliope clears their table of clutter, “while leaving freedom for interpretation… a collaboration between creator and viewer.”
The arts celebrate multiple perspectives.
One of their large lessons is that there are many ways to see and interpret the world.

My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.

A note from LoveLetterist:
Baby it's a brand new day...
What are you going to do with it?
Has tan-legged young woman just returned from The Keyes? I’m talking south, South Florida. 😊 John Batiste’s video and the display of moves brought to mind a verse I read: “Throw arms wide open so your heart can fly out into the world.” (By another Substack writer)
Cal, who’s become so proficient at offering a summation of the day’s post, offers a fine framing of the daily dynamics: “… a collaboration between viewer and creator.” Spot on.
I read a Wiki on Elliot W. Eisner as I was unfamiliar. A renowned educator and recipient of a trove of awards, promoted the role of arts particularly in the education of young students. 👏🏼👏🏼
Charles Kettering was an acclaimed inventor, from the electric starter for auto engines, a paint well suited for mass produced vehicles, leaded gasoline, Freon refrigerant. Over 180 patents in all.
Taken together I feel they represent how certain people put their focus on betterment of society. For the common good!
Thanks for all this to consider on first dog walk of my day. 🙏🏽
