The Goldilocks Zone: too hot, too cold, or …
Torrential rain rips through our glob of a planet,
leaves the world covered in a sea of murky brown.

Devastating floods complicate our Mother Earth puzzle,
yet we ignore the catastrophic calamity
as it breaks the globe apart.
Nature - with our guidance - pushes, pulls, damages
and separates pieces of our ancient orb.

We attempt to reconstruct our portion of home terrain,
in the hope Goddess Gaia’s magnetic core will unite its
crushed, ruptured, separated fragments together again …
Have we learned nothing from poor old
Humpty Dumpty’s fractured experience?

causes illness, destruction … death.

      020 was a Salvador Dali kind of year. Surreal
      to say the least. The melting clocks of The
      Persistence of Memory and its subsequent
Disintegrations, the abject horror of The Face of War,
                                                                                                                                                                   2995
and the utter confusion of Soft Construction with
Boiled Beans all come to mind as I think of the crisis
                  and conflict, the separation, and loss
                  of loved ones we have endured.
                  At the same time, the inner peace of
                  The Meditative Rose and the call to
                  higher aspiration in The Sacrament
                  of the Last Supper inspire hope,
                  and a browse through Dali’s catalog
                  shows us that joy, wonder, and fun
can be found even in the midst of turmoil.

More hugs, please, in 2021
      Our famous hugging heART cheered so many during 2020.
    You made them into school and family art projects, hung them in
   your windows to cheer your neighbors, sent them as thanks to the
caregivers at Atlantic General Hospital, and made them into virtual hugs
  on social media. We need more hugs during this winter! Here’s how:
      1. Do your creative art thing with this blank hugging heART.
        2. Put it in your window or door to cheer your neighbors.
   3. Write a hopeful message and mail it to your hospital or doctor.
                4. Take a photo and send it to us by e-mail -
       megan@artleagueofoceancity.org. We’ll post and exhibit.
       (Need an extra heART? Download one from our website.)
                Thank you from the bottom of our heARTS!
