“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.”

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. 🙏🏽
