Comfy In The Airport
Take your shoes off.
Put your feet up.
Wrap your legs around some luggage.
Recline and put your head back into the pillow.
Put in your ear buds and listen to some music.
Have something to drink.
Take a few extra seats.
Relax and enjoy.
Flying the friendly skies. ;-)

Cut Off The Legs And Call Him Shorty
It comes after:
"Shave off my hair and call me baldy."
They don't make them like they used to. ;-)

Comfy Legs
Cross, uncross, cross.
Of course, the dress pants and shoes aren't so comfortable.
Do clothes really make the wo/man?
Here, there's no real clothes or should I say person to speak of.
Clothes is better than a fig leaf for Adam and Eve.
Much of clothing is just "look your best" and try to "feel good" vanity.
The soul is what really makes the person. ;-)

Cycling In Multicolor
Something about this drawing at a local kosher restaurant really stood out.
The weird cycle with the exaggerated extra big wheel in front.
The crazy looking skinny bodied person with long arms and legs and wild hair sitting on top.
The bright green, blue, orange, and yellow colors.
It just made me laugh at the whole thing.
It's not exactly art, but it sort of is. ;-)

Israel 2020: Day 5
They had exhibit called States of Extreme.
I found some really cool exhibits and ideas there.
Sort of felt my mind being expanded by it, which is I suppose one of the purposes of going to this.
Two of my favorite from today:
1) The chair with people legs and
2) The Fanuc robotic arm feeding the baby in the crib.
And Shabbat Shalom to everyone from the Holy Land!

Helpless And Helping
So I dreamed last night a scary dream...
I was lying prone in a horizontal but bent position.
My clothes were tattered rags and my legs bare.
I could see my legs, but could not move them--at all.
The bottom of the legs by the ankles were completely skinny, diseased and bright sore red (like burnt), and the skin was falling off them.
I knew I was in immense pain, but could not feel anything.
My legs completely useless, in hopelessness, I looked upward and called out:
"Father! Father! Father!"
I was looking for my dad (who I know deeply loved me and vice versa), and hoping for him to come and help me somehow.
Then, my voice turned and called:
"Father that art in heaven" and repeated this again.
I was turning to G-d as the only one who could help me when everything else was stripped away.
Then I awoke, and I was very afraid and yet somehow comforted--I had turned heavenward and found G-d.
Later this morning, I went to the pool for a swim and as part of my post surgery rehabilitation.
As I was swimming, I saw an old somewhat hunchback lady come to the pool.
I recognized her from other days when she does a little self-defined exercise routine against the side of the pool.
But today, her lane at the sides were taken.
Seeing that she was upset and couldn't do her exercise in the center of the pool, I stopped swimming and went over to her.
I said, "Why don't you share with me (there is plenty of room)?"
She hesitated and I could see maybe she needed help getting under the swim rope that divides the lanes, so I lifted it for her and told her reassuringly, "It's no problem."
And then she went under and did her exercise thing--and we shared.
It was such a small thing for me, but yet I could see it was a big deal for her--she was old and I could tell that she needed her routine.
Sort of funny but, when I offered to help, I could practically here the angels of heaven let out a little song of joy--seriously, I did.
And I thought to myself...Andy, you can learn! ;-)

Respect The Legs
It's an interesting (yet in my estimation a somewhat demeaning) view of femininity as demonstrated by the relatively small body, but oversized crossed-over legs.
Perhaps the artist thinks this is sexy or provocative...
Or maybe it's just a relaxing pose with head high and back and arm behind her head.
Either way, you've got to respect those legs, and of course, the woman. ;-)

More Than Just Legs
No need to show the body, because the legs alone convey the message.
To me though, this reminds me of the opposite of minimalism, where instead of showy, sexy legs--these are covered fully and crossed respectfully--overall sitting upright and quite modestly.
It reminded me of beautiful Jewish concept called Tzniut, which refers to people dressing and acting modestly and in private.
There is no need to show it all--but rather, to be someone, it's what you do, not what you look like and expose.
In this way, these legs are enough to convey the concept of modesty--of man or women--if you can just see the whole person and not just their sexuality. ;-)

Butterfly Beauty
I reached a summit and when I stopped to take some drink, I saw this amazing butterfly.
The butterfly looked very peaceful and was resting on some leaves.
Its wings opened and then slightly closed and repeated this as if coinciding with the butterfly's breathing.
The butterfly extended its legs and they seen to just be hanging out there--suspended in mid-air--this was something I had never seen before.
And beneath, you can actually see the shadow of its wings and legs on the leaf below.
Thank you G-d for showing me this beautiful sight of your magnificent creation. ;-)
