I was about to finish writing another post for today, but the news on the radio has distracted and saddened me.
So, instead of a lip balm review (maybe tomorrow), here’s a painting by one of my favorite artists, with a wish for more American children to be kept innocent and safe in their daily lives, and a prayer for those who were killed in Connecticut today.

Hoping that all of us in the hurricane’s path will remain safe and sound.
Edvard Munch, The Storm (1893), Museum of Modern Art, New York.

My attitude is one of love
is all adoration
for all the fringes
all the color
all tinsel creation
I like slippers gold
I like oysters cold
and my garden with mixed flowers
and the sky full of towers
and traffic in the streets
and Mallard’s sweets
and Bendel’s clothes
and Nat Lewis hose
and Tappe’s window arrays
and crystal fixtures
and my pictures
and Walt Disney cartoons
and colored balloons.
