Retired dude, trying to live in health and peace so no to X. Lots of interests, being creative is behind most of them.
Me playing Streets of Laredo, or a least 58 seconds of it, perhaps that’s enough. It’s on a Hohner golden melody harmonica in C. A famous folk ballad, a lament about a dying cowboy.

Today I started an online course via MOMA,
Artful Practices for Well-Being.
I was asked to - Describe a time when you experienced a work of art that prompted an unexpected emotion. What emotion(s) arose for you? How did you respond?
I remembered this painting and the emotional effect it had on me.

we think everyone can agree that it feels good to be in, on, under or simply around the water.
Not only can it reduce our anxieties and stress helping us to find some perspective on life, but it is continually being proven more and more to ease symptoms and pain for some of our most vulnerable.

The artist Frida Kahlo, her paintings encompassed surrealism, cubism, symbolism and magical realism.
About a third of her works were self portrait paintings.
Her art is not only beautiful on an aesthetic level; it has also become a universal symbol of resilience and perseverance. She died aged 47.

People doing tough and menial jobs for long hours with minimal wage and artificial intelligence writing poetry and painting, is not the future I envisaged.

Shaman ? No shoebill stork.
The shoebill stork has a strange appearance, people having seen a photo of the bird, have doubted that it’s a real thing.It seems impossible it could have such a huge bill. The bird has other unusual features and is sometimes said to look intimidating even prehistoric.

The sounds of the waves and the visual stimuli of the ocean can trigger your parasympathetic nervous system, which can help you feel more relaxed. Staring out to sea can also change your brain wave frequency, putting you in a mild meditative state. #mindfulness #thesea

A brisk walk to the sea on an early October afternoon. Take in that ozone. #thisisthesea #ripples Just listening to the sound, not tying it to anything, just letting the sound wash over you. It can be a way of letting go baggage and directly experiencing things as they are. #mindfulness #contemplate
