DEEP THOUGHTS (AND SHALLOW ONES) FROM A WRITER-PRODUCER-POET-COLUMNIST WHO'S STILL TRYING TO FIGURE THINGS OUT
…Clearly, life works better with both.
Or, to put it into the words (actually hints and allusions from Anil Sthankiya, former TVWriter.Com student and current Enlightened Master who visited Gwen and me last week), “You haven’t lived life to its fullest until you die.”
Well, that’s my interpretation anyway, and, frankly, I find it soothing.
Thanks for staying with us, Anil. We hope you had as wonderful a time as we did!
LB’s NOTE: I was very glad to wake up this morning and see this:
Of course, G the B and I have had something quite similar on sundry kitchen walls ever since we got married:
This wonderful painting and even more wonderful gift is called “Dancing Over the Moon” and was created and gifted to us by the master of folk art, Ed Larson, when we first came to Santa Fe as a married couple, thirty-one years ago. If you’re ever in that area, you should give Ed a call (he’s actually listed!) and drop by his home to see all the awesomely inspiring fantasy there.
In many ways, the cartoon above, in which artist Peter Kuper pays tribute to the amazing 90+ year old Jules Feiffer, has come just in time to, at the very least, make my day.
LYMI, LB
He was a brilliant Jewish-American writer who wrote in Yiddish to keep the language alive.
He was also the first Jewish-American existentialist, even though no one ever thinks of him that way.
Well, almost no one. Kareem Abdul Jabar does. Because if there’s one thing Kareem does well, and always has done well, it’s knowing the score. His column today, about a number of things is, to put it simply, brilliant, and I was especially impressed by his Daily Quote:
Kareem’s Daily Quote: I confess to believing in something without rational proof.
You can find the full text of his thinking on this subject, along with much more…
LYMI, LB
