Wanderlust: A Journey Through Time and Space
Introduction The human spirit is inherently curious, driven by an insatiable desire to explore and discover. Travel, a fundamental aspect of our existence, has been a catalyst for growth, understanding, and cultural exchange throughout history. From the ancient explorers who charted unknown lands to the modern-day adventurers who traverse the globe, the allure of travel continues to captivate and inspire.

Mother vs Mirror
In 2015, a group of six blindfolded children ranging from the ages of three to nine years old must identify their mother from a line-up of women. Fortunately, even without their sight, every single child finds their caretaker. According to the concept of Maternal-Newborn Bonding, “The connection made after birth directly affects both the mother and child physiologically, psychologically, and emotionally,” and even influences the child’s romantic and platonic attachment styles later in life (Barker, para.2). This, combined with the experiment above, seems to prove that the Maternal-Newborn bond is indestructible. Yet, Lacan claims that this connection is already destroyed, at around six to eight months old. This essay will argue that Jessika Kenney and Eyvind Kang’s piece uses vocals and instrumentation to explore the factors that motivate the infant to separate from their mother and the consequences of that choice, prompting listeners to question whether adulthood is worth the agony.

Nora Robert's has written a novel entitled 'Nightshade' which is a part of a series of stories 'Night Tales' a series of four books. (Just a note: Not sure if 'Nightshade' is the first one, but I do not think it really matters which you read first.)

Nightshade is on a case where he is helping a family find someone and Althea is working on case that is related to his.

Paisley and Shapes
'Paisley and Shapes' is a color art of blues and purples. When I first saw this design, and I was not sure what I was going to do with it. I saw the circles and dots and what looked like little suns, and even the weird flowers, and it hit me shades of blues and some purple would look good and send thoughts of a cool or even a cold area. What do you think? Please share your comments.

Fall
Here is a color art I entitled 'Fall' and I used crayons of autumnal colors of browns, reds, oranges, a little green since there are still some green at this time of year. I think I even put in some yellow. Fall is my favorite time of year and that is why I decided to 'color' this using fall colors for I was going to at the start depict a 'Spring' but for some reason I was thinking about something else that made me think Fall. Hope to see your comments and suggestions.

Circle Flowers
Here is another crayon art piece that I stated above entitled 'Circle Flowers'. I used blues, green, pink, and a few other colors. The leaves are green that is the only way that I know these must be some sort of flower or flowers. I almost used my colored pencils and thought what if I colored each segment of each flower a different color, and then I thought that would be pretty but a lot of switching between colors. Also, I do not have that many different shades of colored pencils. Hope you like this one and please comment.
