Trekking Through The Surreal With Time Melting Around Me

Hello Fellow Travelers!

I like a lot of art, but especially Modern Art because what Kandinsky and Pollack  represent to me is a freedom of spirit and unconventional thinki

The Persistence of Memory - Dali 1931

ng in a painted format.  Marc Chagall painted a couple flying through the night sky. And in a corner is a chicken, I think Chagall had of some kind of livestock in all his work.  I am not a big fan of the Surrealist Movement but there is  painting by Dali that expresses to me how the world looks to me on any given day.  Everything is upside down, topsy-turvy, in a word, surreal.  Dr. A. had to go through the cerebellum to remove the giant tumor (yuck!), when he removed the tumor.  He diplomatically refers to the other (death, and no, I wouldn't like that, thank you very much!) option back in 2011.  (Thank you, Dr. A.)

Several years ago I spent some time visiting a relative in Seattle because he was in a mental health facility.  He had completely lost his mind by then and spoke in partial thoughts and partial phrases.  The person I was with couldn't follow his ever-changing narrative, but I sort of could.  His mind had snapped completely but talking to him was kind of like surfing - I just tried to follow him and hang on.  In one instance he was a policeman, ten seconds later he was fishing.  I didn't feel sorry for him I kind of got it.  He died soon after our visit.  Another example of surrealism in real life.

I definitely feel like I've unwittingly been preparing for  (something) years and it's my duty to work harder and longer every day.  I hate (yes, hate) this wheelchair, but a lot of positive results have come from this experience.  And I will happily tell anyone about the results as soon as I can speak!
