In Rhythm

I’m reading the book, The Imagineering Way: Ideas to Ignite Your Creativity, and came upon this wonderful bit:

Dr. Ross Edy, a well-known international neuroscientist and longtime friend of my husband, once told me that if you take two separate live heart cells from two separate mammals and put them pulsing in the same petri dish—left alone—in a short time, they will find each other’s rhythm and start to beat in time with each other.

Something to think about, eh?

I knew it! I just knew it! Johnny Depp's heart would beat in tune with mine if I could just get near him! LOL!

Maybe it already is, Jenny. Maybe it already is...

Hee hee! Actually, now that I think about it, maybe lots of our hearts are beating in time to one another. You never know.

“Anizo 100% Reality Mind.” What this means, I have no idea. A friend found it living in a vending machine on the street in China and brought it back to Boston for me. The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks. The warning printed on the paper insert commands, “Do not use as lifeguard equipment.” Anizo and I, we’re inseparable. Anizo 100% Reality Mind!

Illustration Friday: Hide

Image
Maurice’s cunning helped him evade that hungry field sparrow, and in doing so he discovered something new: his special affinity for flowers. He decided to go for it. He attained his Master’s Degree in floral arrangement from Chicago School of Flower Design. Today Maurice owns and manages a successful retail floral operation behind the shed there, to the left of the plastic green leprechaun. This is my drawing for the Illustration Friday ( IF website ) assignment, this time to illustrate "Hide". Click it for a bigger version.
