In a very small village, there was a little school with two classes, one for boys and one for girls.

A very kind couple were the teachers of the school.

Kids in the school were underprivileged. The couple wanted to help a lot but they didn’t have much either. They wrote to the school boards asking for some help but none of their letters were taken seriously.

One day, they decided to give one prize to each class from their own pocket to the extent that they could afford.

They chose to give a complete outfit of a dress and shoes to one girl and a shirt, pants and shoes to one boy.

The teachers went to their class and announced: “Now that school is almost over, the board is gifting one set of clothing for your hard work. Please write down your names and drop them into this bag…

I hope you’re all well and managing to keep your center amidst the Energy Waves of Now (and recently).

In alignment with Crazy Wisdom and the Energies of Now,I’ve been more deliberate about communication, gestating the ideas and that stirred up (Mercury Retrograde), and observing what I dubbed the Feast of the Appreciation (very Venus in Taurus) a couple of Sundays ago, and then decided, “Why not make it Feast of Appreciation Month?” Highly recommended improv practice.

For today, as other ideas and insights gestate and ripen for sharing outwardly, here is a pot pourri of four (4) insight-snippets and ideas that caught my attention in recent days.

This episode in the US art series takes us out of NYC and further north to Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts (MFA). The MFA can probably best be described as Boston’s version of the Met, and despite the worldwide fame of the latter I’d definitely rate the quality of both museums equally. So I hope you enjoy this short and, as always, highly subjective peek into the MFA. I have to admit by now I have forgotten a lot about the art pieces you’ll see, so please correct my ignorance if you spot mistakes in my comments under the photos.

Going into the main exhibit and some well-photographed classic art.

Just like the Met, the MFA also exhibits a mix of…

A person who loved painting and drawing participated in a class of a famous painter. For years he worked hard by taking every advice and practicing a lot. One day, the famous painter said, “I taught you everything I know. You are a master now and you don’t need my help anymore.”

The student wanted to be sure so he drew a painting and then put it in the town square one morning with a note that said:

“If you can see an error in this painting, please put an ‘X’ on the spot.”

When he came back in the afternoon to pick up his painting, he was shocked.

The painting was covered with X’s all over. He was so disappointed by his work and decided to show it to his teacher, the famous painter.

He explained that he wanted to test himself.

When his teacher saw the painting he…
