It seems many of us are writing of the dichotomy we are socially experiencing at an algae-bloom rate and magnitude.

They may be living right next door --
Yet their differences could not be more.

So true. On the right I have Filipino microbiologist and his Mexican lover. Nice guys but I don't travel in their circle. On the left I have a widow of Chinese/Vietnamese heritage with her lawyer son. She only talks to my partner in Vietnamese. Across the street, the black family is the most helpful and generous whenever I'm in need.

Truly a very mixed neighborhood like you imply in your words and artistry.

As my Dad used to tell me..”it takes all sorts to make a world..”
Let’s hope we are moving towards more tolerance and empathy…
Love your paintings Diana…

Happy New Year…

Yes, we seem to be living in the age of differences; may those differences somehow bring us together in the new year.

At least we are not living next door to Mar-a-lago.

The New Debtors' Prison by Paul Lonardo

While Debtors prisons no longer exist, many people continue to be persecuted for crimes related to poverty or inability to repay money owed to municipalities. This practice remains in an injustice that needs to be rectified.
