Andres, I am so sorry that my mind cannot go where you lead it! This looks like a desert to me, delicious, with chocolate and cream bursting out through the crackles in the toffee!

Not to worry. I'll send a taxi for you. We'll meet up in the corner of 23rd and 75th. OK? Then we'll eat the dessert.

Life is just waiting around for the next disaster. The only consolation is, one of these times it'll be fatal.

Fabulous textures and tones. Realy awesome.
I also like the composition.

Losing a "framework" too rapidly tends to spin and individual into a kind of confusion and chaos. At which point, in order to regain a sense of where and who he is, he must adopt a new "framework".

I think of this a stable points... fixed points in a moving world or life.. Sometimes we pick 'true' ones and sometimes we make up false ones. Ultimately, I think the false ones lead to more chaos, though they are temporarily useful.

Not much of a game without some sort of framework, is there...

Lovely image and great food for thought.

Watch out, Mr Toad's gonna bite!

MYvonne, I always appreciate your words; always attentive, always inquring, always fun to read. I agree with everything you have said about losing a framework too quickly. However, I would ask you: Do you think artists can perform such transformations slowly? Wouldn't that mean that artists somehow rationally controlled the creative process? In particular, I wonder about that very first rupture in which the artist realizes that his/her creative powers and decisions will transform a world which might be very uneasy about any changes whatsoever? (Van Gogh, Socrates, and many others, come to mind) Must there be a moment in an artist's --and philosopher's---- life in which his/her decision to become an artist requires serious and radical ruptures with frameworks which for the most part can curtail creativity and the possibility of healthier thoughts? Once this initial rupture is made ---with the losses it implies--- , as you put it so well, the search for new frameworks becomes then a necessity to try to give certain meanings to our lives. Or, as you put it so well:

"Not much of a game without some sort of framework, is there..."
