So is organic writing (& art & music) created by sensitive thoughtful LIVE human beings! ❤️ 📚 Take that, AI! 🥊 #WritingCommunity #ClassicalMusic
Reading is fundamental! 📚 Van Gogh once told his brother Theo of his ‘irresistible passion for books’, saying he needed them as much as daily bread. His friend, Paul Gauguin, described him as a man possessed by literature. 😦 🖼️ ‘Piles of French Novels’, 1887 © Van Gogh Museum

Never gets old. 🎥⚾️🥺 Thank you, Moonlight. 🌙 See you next Spring.
Burt Lancaster passed away OTD in 1994. Lancaster was the first star to have his name placed on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 'Moonlight' Graham in Field of Dreams (1989) was his final role. Ray Liotta's, 'Hey, Rookie. You were good,' still sends tingles down the spine.

You know how you never forget certain images? I still wonder what happened to this man. Is he safe from that horrible war? Is he reading the books he salvaged or better yet, writing one of his own? 🇺🇦 #WritingCommunity
This image from bombed out Mariupol Ukraine was on TV in March. I often think of this dear man gathering his books. Where is he now? 🇺🇦💞#WritingCommunity #ClassicalMusic #Aspergers
