May 22--"Play Ball!" and Paint

Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona.  --George Will

    I saw a classic move in the Cubs game yesterday, which surprisingly went unmentioned by the announcers. The umpire made a bad call--the pitch was low, a ball, but the umpire called it a strike. The batter (Tucker for the Cubs) simply reached down and brushed off home plate, as in, "let me help you out, ump, since you're clearly having trouble seeing the plate." Great move!
    It is progress in recovery when I am willing to paint. When I was in severe pain, I couldn't even think about painting. I need a clear connection to Spirit for ideas, and the connection was pure static, to put it mildly. I did do an "anger" painting as the pain eased up some, but I shall keep that rather graphic one to myself. Now that I am mostly pain-free (just regaining my strength and balance), a new idea came to me for a set of three small square canvases. Yes, there are more straight lines and bright colors, which comfort me in our "messy" world.
    And the lilies are blooming! Those are my favorite flowers--you shall see them in future posts.
