The art of transformation

Life support comes from unexpected places – even to old oak trees. Fireman rescuing pup sculpture carved from heritage oak tree/screenshot image/League City YouTube)

Wouldn’t be nice if it wood, but dropped its’ crown and, while rooted in regional dominance for over 100 years, it’s gone – but gone on to at least as good function in the neighborhood. Certainly not useless.

Finally found the video of the masterful carving of a heritage tree.

Close up of Scout being carved. Do you thinker’s possible that the real Scout actually watered this 100 year old oak tree when it was a sapling? You know how dogs are. They are quick to welcome new things to the neighborhood.(screenshot/League City YouTube)

Can’t top this

I think he knows a little bit about what works. Here’s the artist with his model of the fireman sculpture. An uninteresting guy – who wants to make people smile with his work. Mission accomplished! (screenshot/League City YouTube)

Oh, you’ll get a real post here before long…it’s not that there’s nothing to say.

It’s just that writing topics are very much like a room school of preschoolers each whom have always been the center of attention and think it should be that way here: “Me first!”
Such confident demanding little voices. Well, best to let them all run in the field for a while and some will get tired and take a nap, while others find they can place nice with others and sort themselves into a workable group…then there’s the real loner – a creative one – that has legs and patience – or enough creativity to sing it’s own song whether anyone hears or not. Eventually they will all get their chance to be lines on stage.

Meanwhile here treed this little drama that neatly ties up the loose ends before branching out into other thoughts.

“The Moving Finger writes; and having writ (even without wit),

Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit (Have you noticed that “thy” is hated by spellcheck? Must be some modern pronoun prejudice I’m clueless of.)

Shall lure it back to cancel half a line (“Shall” not “will”. Notes determination strength to perform the stated action. Some say that the unhappy Twitter employees are mostly tech oriented brains – many with English as a second language – who, by nature/nuture do not recognize all the nuances of words – and there are many – subtle nuances which misleads them for meaning or makes them nervous….if you have brainy engineers/techies in the family, that may actually sound plausible….if not possible. Chill, little birds. It’s gonna be all right. If you love something, set it free. Half life is no life.)

Nor all thy tears wash out a word of it.” (Can’t unring the bell. But if a tree falls in the forests, and there’s no one to hear, is there a sound? Hmm, some silent screams are the longest and loudest.)
