Dear Clydie! I am not surprised at your dreams! You are, it seems, always trying to find a cheery/amusing/witty comment to cheer someone up, or offering your empathy to those who seem to be suffering mentally. Not to discount your thoughts about the sorry state of the world- that too. I guess we all seek commiseration, protection and companionship. As usual, you've siad it all so well! And...who wants to "celebrate' July 4th with explosions! XOXO
I'll trade your dreams for mine! I have sometimes wondered if it is possible to actually be traumatized by one's dreams. But you have such a poetic way of writing... I am reminded of reading The Mill on the Floss by George Elliot in college. Most of my classmates were bored by the lack of real "action," but I found the descriptions delightful. My latest source of humor has been https://museumofbadart.org/collections/ I do feel bad if someone's painting that they were proud of ends up there, but some of the art is donated by the artist, and the "curator's notes" are delightful. I also think it might be fun and rather freeing to try to deliberately create "bad art." Maybe it can be paired with this country's bad politics.
Just got lost in the Museum of Bad Art --thank you for pointing me to it! Thank you also for your second comment -- I really appreciate your insights. It's tempting to start imagining a "museum of bad writing"! Want to co-found??
Like, adunno, maybe? im pretty sure their is so much writing that is bad that it would be a difficult thing to find a wherehouse bigger enough to hold all teh bad riting there is! :) Especially with AI...
re-reading my comment, perhaps it sounds like I am saying you have a lack of "action" or content, which is not my intent at all. Rather, you have a way of making real human every-day occurrences meaningful and well-written. No need to for fast-paced car chases and masked villains to keep a reader's interest.
I have heard from more than one veteran who hates the 4th- celebrate our war heroes by bringing on their PTSD, that's the 'Murica way!
