Really Important Stuff
My Cat Has Taught Me
By Cynthia L. Copeland
Movie of the Week
I enjoyed watching the first six of this ten episode Apple TV series. Episode 7 will be available on July 2.
The show is about a washed-up professional golfer, who turns towards a rising young star in the game to turn things around for himself.
I find Owen Wilson is good in whatever role he is playing. Mariana Treviño Ortiz, who plays the mother is a joy to watch.

Extraordinary Person of the Week
Don Quixote
Don Quixote does not see the world for what it is and prefers to imagine that he is living out a knightly story meant for the annals of all time.
Perhaps more of us should be
“tilting at windmills”
The above is a 1955 sketch by Pablo Picasso
of the Spanish literary hero and his sidekick, Sancho Panza.
Art of the Week
The Healer (1937)
By Réne Magritte
The Cloaked Figure:
The figure’s anonymity, enhanced by the cloak, invites interpretation while obscuring identity, a common Magrittean technique.
The Birdcage:
The birdcage, often a symbol of confinement or hidden truths, juxtaposed with the birds (symbols of freedom) creates a paradox, suggesting both restriction and potential for liberation.
Healing and Mystery:
The title “The Healer” suggests a focus on restoration or guidance, but the unsettling imagery hints at a deeper, perhaps more complex, exploration of the human condition.
Existential Ambiguity:
The painting can be interpreted as a meditation on the nature of healing, both physical and emotional, and the inherent mysteries of life and the human mind.
Summary
Magritte’s work often challenges viewers to question their perceptions of reality and the relationship between the visible and the invisible, and “The Healer” exemplifies this approach.
