It seems clear that this week on clerkmanifesto we will be dealing entirely with a Picasso music video that the more I work on the farther it moves away.
So I am hoping you will love every minute of our journey!
It reminds me of that old math conundrum where to get anywhere you have to go halfway there, and as you ever go halfway there, you can never arrive.
But it's really about the friends we make along the way.
Oddly enough, when I have twenty spare minutes (broken into seven different segments) at the front desk of my library, I am sometimes able to write two or three really good blog posts, but give me a few days off, packed with free time, and I find myself working tirelessly towards the very stars, and finishing... nothing.
The stars are farther than one might think.
Curiously enough this is the theme of my Pablo Picasso music video, sort of.
The theme is also that Pablo Picasso was a really really good painter. I have been looking at many of his paintings these days and, well, I mean...
Caravaggio really is the best painter that ever lived,
And Van Gogh is too, in a different way. His painting was a kind of magic.
But Picasso is,
It's
It's like both of them at the same time?
He's like both of them, except he's after the world was broken open.
I was just going to show you 30 Picasso paintings today, but that won't really do. I don't have the explanation for all that. But I am pretty sure this fox will be appearing in the upcoming video, and so I am hoping these pictures will do for today.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
