The Starry Night
A painting that inspires the imagination
Never has a painting so captured the public imagination. This visionary, expressionist work of art even inspired a very touching hit record by the American recording artist, Don Mclean (Vincent, 1971). As one historian observed, the painting absorbs the viewer into the cosmos whilst standing on the threshold of eternity.

A highly underrated film about alien contact. If you enjoyed Close Encounters, you will love this. The special effects are a sight to behold, as you can see in the above clip. Based on a novel by Carl Sagan, the science has a great deal of credibility. Just watch it.

While the White House defended this as an “appropriate and unambiguous response,” this behavior raises serious questions about the standards of conduct expected from the highest office in our nation.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
