Yet another gem! Funny that Cal and Tal both noted a resemblance to Typist, but I really believe your hair has mostly been shorter recently, and you own a hairbrush. That you use!
I sense at this time we’re observing the Muses, one and all, making progress shifting from their former habits and tendencies in their interactions both among themselves and with the world at large. Perhaps thought of as the dark ages?
Shifting toward what, you may ask? But I’m pretty sure you well know. Consideration of how their words might feel to others, themselves. Restraint of tongue and blog. Striving to make new ways of speaking, habits. No small feat after lots of years not knowing.
Along these lines, I watched Flawless, with Robert DeNiro and Philip Seymour Hoffman, last night. DeNiro, if I may take this liberty, was transformed in a way not unlike the Muses. Just a little faster. The retired cop, played by DeNiro, was isolated, filled with anger, and uttered his venom at will. No filter. Until he suffered a major stroke that impaired his right side motor skills, and clobbered his speech. His doctor from hospital encouraged him to have speech and physical therapy. So Hoffman, playing a sure fire drag Queen, became his speech therapist. Teaching DeNiro to sing. From initial contempt for Hoffman, the events that unfolded in the film rendered DeNiro kinder, more accepting - especially of Hoffman- and ready to resume living large in his neighborhood. Despite the initial shame and embarrassment that followed the stroke, not being the tough guys he was, not doing the tango with a gal pal at a local bar/dance hall.
I think the greatest change agent was acceptance of himself! And the non-transactional efforts of Hoffman and a couple others to not settle for a miserable life.

Here’s to change!!
“She kind of looks like… Typist?”
Oh good, when I saw the drawing I didn’t know if I should comment. (Thanks, Cal!)
