So much drama condensed in a scene of heavy looming sky over a broad expanse of outback plain and a solitary prime mover demanding focal attention. https://t.co/KLgdm0gNza

Apparently, painter and date are correct. But the painting is not a pandemic reference. It represents problems related to urban traffic and suggests mechanisms to reduce the traffic congestion crisis. But still, it could easily have a double meaning now. https://t.co/wxiNsxBFzj https://t.co/i2vWblRqSJ

Even the word 'congestion' can be applied to traffic and breathing issues...

Love this image for its emotional and thoughtful energy...partially open window, partially drawn blind, a partial glimpse of the sea...but there is enough sea breeze to send the curtains spinning into a dance...And the colour tone is like parchment...a past moment preserved... https://t.co/7Oah2uApMQ

Perhaps Andrew Wyeth's most famous painting is 'Christina's World'...
Adore the quote... + adore Christine Ellger's image. I relate closely to both... https://t.co/zS1LMFXCDm

It appears that Australian aboriginals 'channelled and filtered their water, covering it to avoid contamination and evaporation. They also created wells and tunnel reservoirs.' Tunnels accessed groundwater. Ants led them to subterranean reservoirs.https://t.co/bwEyr7yrDL.

I'm not downplaying their extensive genius in using water . That the conditions of aquifers in Australia were perhaps the reason that there were no extensive dug wells . Many of the ancient people had wells . Their agriculture system was magnificent . Yet the dug wells and wheel?

True all that. Correlation is not causation. Not disputing any of what you say . Just commenting on a possible link between wells and wheels . Last December I travelled extensively across Oz to find this link. Could not.

Vishwanath Srikantaiah, 53, is a water activist and has been working in the space for over 27 years. Mr. Vishwanath is also a columnist for The Hindu, who writes weekly columns about water preservation. A Civil Engineer, and Urban & Regional Planner by profession, he has worked with HUDCO(Housing and Urban Development Corporation) for 14 years. Vishwanath or popularly known as @zenrainman, started a club while he was in HUDCO. “We started a small group called the rainwater club in 1994. We used to collect documents and information about rainwater harvesting and put it up on public domain.”Agree with the construct of 'progress'. One 'suit' does not 'suit' all. 'We didn’t have the wheel. We bypassed it. It didn’t suit our needs...We also lived without the associated range of problems of industry, pollution and heavy labour.' https://t.co/MtgTafTLK3

I can feel myself slip-sliding toward the political abyss...The open chasm is a magnet...I must refrain from contaminating my Twitter timeline with political tirades...self-defeating+pointless...So, new life in my neighbour's garden + I'll return to my 'Sarum' world for awhile... pic.twitter.com/6LmIHV3qjm

So love the clipped 'label' on so many of this tweeter's timeline photos. The labels are loaded, challenging connections between words and often unusual image. https://t.co/7CZmS3Z3Ur

And this grand news proves that there is far more to the number '1' than the stereotypical concepts of 'first' and 'One is the loneliest number...'. This very special '1', we Melburnians hope symbolises 'last'. This '1' is the key to opening the door AWAY from loneliness...😀🙏😀 https://t.co/ct9zHspvdl pic.twitter.com/WbkKl2ei3m

Addicted to learning and soul connections... I live and breathe for both... But also must include the sheer pleasure I get from supporting high school students - both in their learning + mental/spiritual wellbeing...The students give my life purpose and meaning...

While not strictly labelled 'philosopher', it can't be denied that Emily Dickenson's poetry has a strong undercurrent of philosophy. So I would choose Emily Dickenson. I can imagine she would be a little reticent, but, as I am a little socially shy too, I think we could connect.
