Hearts-A-Fire: Opening Minds...a definition of art
Incipient so bovine, art is perpetual births of intelligenti from decimated duplicities on blank slates. Blinks, saplings, roes, calves, fledgling stars, etc. are germs of wisdom encapsulated from pain into supple nurture. From warmth into cold, hard worlds and "home" again sitting by hearths nursing frail and feeble minds in illuminati works is art. Art, like life, is illusive(s): apparitions which render infinite minds and seers of visions, if perspicacious. Art begins formless.

"at variance" appears twice in the KJV
OT
Sir.8[2] Be not at variance with a rich man, lest he overweigh thee: for gold hath destroyed many, and perverted the hearts of kings.
NT
Matt.10[35] For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
--------------------------------------------------
at variance = at odds
The OT verse is Solomon and the NT verse is red letter.
Questions:
What conclusions, if any, can be drawn from each of the verses individually and together as a whole message? Was the OT verse about plutocracies and the NT verse about the overturning of plutocrats, as seen with Jesus and money changers (authority) in the temple?
If so, can parallels be drawn between independence movements throughout history to date with "Occupy?"
Will democracy prevail or will plutocrats continue to establish laws which amount to "money talks, bullshit walks" while sending sons and daughters to die or be maimed in war with no aid from the very plutocrats who sent them so that we get what we have today in America where America wants it: America gets it!?
What does America get? What do you get but being at odds (at variance) with everybody and everything, congressional gridlock over taxes for the richest 1% when 46% of congressional members are millionaires and a poke in the eye for the 99% occupying!
"Whether 'tis nobler in mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing, end them."

Magnolia is the state tree of Louisiana. Wynton is Marsalis, the jazz musician from New Orleans. Race reference is the aftermath of Katrina shown on TV with seas of African American faces herding out of a cesspool stadium where they sought shelter. 'Dabs' is like a jazz note or as if a paint brush stroke on canvas, etc. The star is six pointed, as if the conditions in New Orleans were of the devil or as the result of poor infrastructure for the nation's poorest resulting in dire consequences and the spotlight comment that the President at the time didn't like black people: which hints racism or evil or of the devil and hence, a six pointed star. Finally, the 'Katrina Ode' is composed of pseudo-anagrams from an original phrase thinking of the 'wide cliffs of Dover.' The phrase was "see icy seas face cliffs, why relax moon eyes."
Proof
The existence of God is proved by the existence of Darwinism and both concepts coexisting from one thought: many, which mirror nature (God) itself as a whole.
Qoh.1[4] One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
"Global Warming," a man-made event due to the "industrial age," will cover earth as if with a blanket: a toxic fog which will suffocate life leaving earth barren save: microbes, odd specie and sparse peoples. After that time, earth's ozone and climate will morph into incipience, as if a lilly burgeoning from a buried corpse lending nutrient for growth.
Dinosaur extinction was due to: build ups of gas in earth's ozone; continental shifts over eons; a changing and a lack of food sources; over population; etc., much like the state of earth in human times. Evolution will see life as we humans know it: extinct! Or, evolved into placarded eons as lonely, bony remains to be discovered by galactic interlopers, if any remnant of "human thought" exists at that time other than bones and pyramids.

One Year: No Beer; Nov. 3, 2011
No amount of AA alone could have relieved my alcoholism; not even five meetings in a day at one point could have relieved my polydipsia, which caused my being a dipsomaniac. "Polydipsia" simply means "excessive thirst" and "dipsomania" means "alcoholism."
In order to make one year possible for me after 25 years of drinking beer excessively where one is too many and 12 is not enough: it was a combination of AA, a doctor who prescribed a sleep aid and ginger ale.
AA enabled me to think differently enough to try ginger ale a year ago and at first not liking it thinking it tasted like medicine, I have now acquired a taste for ginger ale. I acquired a taste for beer when I was twelve years old and was told that beer is an acquired taste: instilling in me the desire to acquire a taste for beer at twelve.
Having tried many different "soft" drinks including: Cola, water, fruit juice, beer shandies, etc., and finally trying ginger ale with a splash of lemonade and ice last year never having tried it as a "drink of choice:" I have found the magic elixir to relieve my dipsomania.
I now treat my polydipsia with ginger ale, which has electrolytes and does not cause fatality as does excessive water drinking or the "runs:" as does Cola and fruit juice.
"Drink Canada dry" is my new motto along with AA's "Think think think," although 7-11 sells "Schweppes" at 1.06$ for a refill 40 oz "double gulp" where I buy my 2-4 "double gulps" of ginger ale per day.
Still, I am not averse to AA or doctors or help of any kind to stop drinking and will be going to a meeting soon to pick up a year chip and announce my program of "drink Canada dry" in order to carry "the message" to "the still suffering alcoholic."
