What time is it? What day is it? I have no idea.

It is exactly some- thing o'clock. Yes, I'm sure!

Of all the changes in our lives these past months-- self isolation, working and/or schooling at home, virtual this and virtual that, wearing a mask (You are, aren't you?), changing world--I really don't always know what day it is by date or name and often lose concept of time.

Those skills are leaving us because time itself is lost. We do seek comfort recalling what used to be and being reminded of what we still have.

For comfort, we look to the Arts. The arts are timeless and offer keys to our salvation. Paintings, like 'Melting Watch' by Salvador Dali, shows the vagueness of time itself.

We only have to look at Norman
Rockwell's "Happy Birthday Miss Jones" to reminisce and wonder when, if ever, something like this will happen again.

(God bless our teachers!)

We know that the world is a very strange and different place now, we see it and feel it in Hieronymus Bosh's work, 'The Garden of Earthly Delights." (showing one of three panels which is enough to show 'very strange and different.' in this expansive and graphic work made small on purpose.

Seeing Rock- well's vaccin- ating doctor, we take comfort in the realization that we too may soon have a 'get out of jail' card up our sleeve... but not real, real soon. (A shot in the arm though, right?) When we have that, it is anyone's guess as to how long it will take for all those who desire, to be vaccinated, ("a-one and a-two and a doodly doodly do...) and will that be enough?

Meanwhile, much is also happening on medical treatments that could lessen the effects and provide a covid-19 recipe for recovery. The catch is, you have to get it in the first place.

Will you be in line to aggressively fight this monster?


As reality sets in, we must take comfort where we find it. For many, that is a warm cup of soup on a cold day... or a cold cup of soup on a warm day, though that does sound less appealing, but bear with me so I can use Andy Warhol's "Campbell's Tomato Soup" art which is valued at $11.7 million... no cheapskate me.

Finally, we seek comfort that our President is "cognitively there" when we need him... and he assured us that he is. Repeating for us what he just said is Sarah Cooper.

We have nothing to fear but fear itself. God help us!
