The worlds shortest man passed away recently
but can the shortest man really ever die
or for that matter any of the
extreme
then incomparable

What is a horse?
Looking at a new horse toy - pink, from the back, with a flat seat equals the tameness of a Beetles looks.
It has none of its body. But still it has its mane and tail. While reading 'Architecture and Cubism', my search led to two giant horses. I will need more time to see the horses.
To sculpt an elephant Henry Moore chips away what is not an elephant.
So what is not a horse?

Kidding
A kid under 5yrs wanted to try eggs today because she forgot how they taste. She kidded her mom about not having peas this day. That is not a surprise, having being kidded before by a child of that age.
When I was around 10 or so, I told myself that I forgot all I read along in the year and thus began an annual spate of learning. Thats not the first time that I forgot. Countless times I repeated the same things to my father. How and when do kids understand the concept of remembering and forgetting? There are some adults too who forget that they are retelling what has already been told before. Opposite of deja vu.

Magritte Dreams
The Enchanted Domain by Rene Magritte.
Going through Magritte's paintings, I recalled the cover page of the book
Embracing the wide sky. Not only does it have the bowler hat man but also the sky filling as in The Great Family
Magritte has used his leaf like post as tree and a pigeon in other paintings, if this book cover is inspired from his then it puts not only the repetition to use, but with the reversal of figure and ground and all in the same work is a collage of similar things.
Brain The complete mind

Survival and Extinction
Island birds didnt need flight for lack of predators. Later they became easy baits for the travel itchy vermins.
What would have been culled earlier lived a little longer.
