Hot Air(coletti w'color&crayon)/Wonderful Palindrome/Breast Cancer/Doug Landis/


(P1) Philosophical

A palindrome reads the same backward as forward. This video reads the exact opposite backward as forward. Not only does it read the opposite, the meaning is the exact opposite.

This is only a 1-minute, 44-second video and it is brilliant. Make sure you read as well as listen…forward and backward.

This is a video that was submitted in a contest by a 20-year old. The contest was titled "u @ 50" by AARP. This video won Second Place. When they showed it, everyone in the room was awe-struck and broke into spontaneous applause. So simple and yet so brilliant. Take a minute and watch it. Amazing........

Recently I received this message from my friend Ray Taylor in Kentucky. It's certainly worth sharing. There's a link to Doug Landis' site at the end. He paints with his mouth!

Dear Ed,
Happy New Year to you and your lovely wife Joyce!
Should you find it worthy, please feel free to include the following in your very worthy Blog:
"Especially during these trying times, inspiration, as found in the following pencil sketches by Doug Landis, is always appreciated!":

Ed, the video palindrome is brilliant! And, I also like the Darwin quote. Although, how ironic to make an example of dogs which are the best at living in the moment.

Ed,

Have seen that video before--don't know who sent it to me--probably Suzanne. It remains amazingly powerful.

If you get a chance, Ed, check out (youtube it) the video for White Pepper Ice Cream by Cibo Matto.
