WonderWoman flew in this morning. I am so blessed.
She delivered 3 bags of groceries from Trader Joe's.
Goodies, flowers, fruits & vegetables.
She spoils me with things I wouldn't buy for myself.
Thank you, Superman and WonderWoman,
you are so kind to me and I appreciate you both.

Small Windows of Sunrises/ on the Covers of the N. Y. Times
Sho Shibuya
It’s been a dark couple of months for New York City.
Citizens, forced to
stay home, have waited out the days
absorbing the sad and depressing
news.
But it’s often darkest just before dawn, and for
Brooklyn-based
artist and designer Sho Shibuya,
the city’s sunrises offered a means of
coping, as well as
a silver lining to what was otherwise a terrible
situation.
While locked down and feeling overwhelmed in his Brooklyn studio
apartment, “I realized that from the small windows of my studio, I could
not hear the sounds of honking cars or people shouting,” explains
Shibuya, who is the founder of the creative studio Placeholder.
“I could hear the birds chirping energetically and sound of wind in the
trees, and I looked up and saw the bright sky, beautiful as ever
despite the changed world beneath it.”
So the artist decided to photograph each sunrise. He then skilfully
recreated it in acrylic paint, on the cover of that day’s New York
Times, rendering a beautiful and poetic window; a contrast between the daily chaos and the sky’s serenity. He has been posting the artworks to his Instagram account.
'If one thing the news has made clear, we need generosity and peace for
all people now more than ever,” says Shibuya, who hopes these sunrises
can also serve as a reminder of the strength and generosity that New
Yorkers have shown over the last months.
