"There's no law to reverse 'I don't feel admired.'"

Isn't it strange?

Sometimes adults need gentle parenting and sometimes adults need "Get over yourself."

I'm sure some kids are looking forward to seeing more sensible and responsible adult behavior!

"An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent entered a Thai restaurant in St. Paul, Minnesota, with his handgun drawn while claiming to look for a 'kid,' the restaurant's owners said."

"Elle told Storyful that multiple customers and staff members were traumatized by the incident.

“My business was disrupted, and now my staff are hesitant to come to work, while those still needing to pay bills are showing up feeling worried and scared,” Elle said.

"American citizens are being stopped on the streets "with no cause and are being forced to produce paperwork to determine if they are here legally,” Mark Bruley, chief of the Brooklyn Park Police Department, said in a Jan. 20 news conference. He said that his officers had been targeted by federal agents while off-duty."

Some poorly parented people will do terrible things for money, which is why some people really need to learn better self-parenting skills.

Well, that's enough for this life.

Maybe the Lord will bless ignorant greedy materialistic people who know how to pressure and exploit and ruin things with the help they need to get to a better version of themselves.

Blessed nervous system, help yourself heal.

I wake up feeling so awful and it's the worst thing. I have physical pain and my nervous system needs healing and peace. "I almost cannot bear it anymore" is how the body feels. But it will get better. It shouldn't ever be normal to feel this bad just waking up in the morning. Blessed nervous system needs so much healing.

Please help a body feel better and safer in the morning especially.

Facing upcoming dental work and bills and needing to make the body feel safer and better now and in the future.

So many points in this one, too...

TANGERINE DREAM - "VANISHING BLUE"

PROPHETVberlinschule

https://youtube.com/watch?v=L3-kMSpHrJI&si=d3UREvaHZyFVcT_K

The radio's soundtrack to me remembering my dream on my way to a class was Tangerine Dream's "Vanishing Blue." In my dream, there was a wounded bird that I thought my stepfather was perhaps going to rescue, but instead he put it in a box with a bunch of packaging and plastic around it. The bird made a few sounds. I said, I don't think that's a good way of dealing with the bird, to suffocate it. I knew that he didn't think the bird was going to live, so this was about euthanasia. I said when I was little, my babysitter killed a baby bird really quickly by putting twigs on it and then she crushed it really quick with her shoe. I opened the box to take out the bird. Then he laughed and said, "I'm not as unempathetic as you think I am," and took the bird out of the box. I could see something was going on with the skull of the bird and I said "oh yeah, she's very sick," and liquid was seeping out from a crack in the head so I knew she was going to die. Then I was alone in some very dark water, and I couldn't see anything, so I thought I'd gone blind. But wait, no, my eyes were closed, and when I opened my eyes, the dream ended. 

Why are you in my way? I asked a big truck being driven by a man though an alley before I manuovered off to the side to let him pass. I parked my car and went inside. The assignment was to make a picture of a bird and use stippling to show values. And it was important, the teacher said, to make sure there was a reflection of light in the eyes. Even if a photograph doesn't pick up the light, you should put that light in the eyes in your drawing. When she sees pictures in a museum of birds and there's no light in the eyes, she thinks they painted roadkill. The light in the eyes shows life. 

But hmmm, sometimes the light does show up in the photograph too...

Shoulda looked at this one closer when a print of it was hanging in the house I lived in...

Let's look at nature more and give ourselves art therapy...

 

Favorite work of stippling because it's my first. 

I don't ever remember doing it before. I actually liked it more than I expected.

So loved cats and sunsets thee Lord

 


How do you know though? Is there something in particular that makes you stand out?
