Standing on Solid Ground

Road Runner was my father's favourite character.  He used to laugh at how foolish the coyote was for being too obsessed with chasing Road Runner to notice his own folly.  I like this.  :)

Exactly! We can laugh at the absurdity of the scene because deep down inside we all have done something metaphorically similar. We laugh at others through ourselves...
Thank you again Willow! JJ

Had to google wile e coyote....gotta say I LOVE him :)

In the 60's and 70's cartoons were all on Saturday mornings with a few on Sunday mornings. It was a cultural expectation for us to watch them. Thanks for commenting!

Love those cartoons! This captures their essence perfectly, Poet.

Thank you Ahavati! Life was so simple then and the lessons learned from visual metaphors were easy for us to understand by minds uncluttered with the complexities of life. Adults missed the point and only saw violence...    
Well I saw deeper...

Exactly! Just like Scooby Doo taught
us the real monsters were humans.

Bugs Bunny and Woody Woodpecker were classics IMHO. Wile E. Coyote skits were fun too. Though a little too predictable.

Predictable and inevitable, yet still satisfyingly hilarious!
Thanks for commenting!

Excellent observation, JJ. . .life imitating art in Technicolor. . .I've always adored double R only because he wasn't dumb enough to stick around and let stuff fall on his head. . .Meep, Meep. . .~xo, Devlin.

Yeah, Wile E was funny because of the look on his face as he was standing in the air just before his body would drop out from under him and his head stayed there for a second looking into the camera with the "uht-oh- expression, lol... the long drop and POOF when he hit the canyon bottom.
Thanks for commenting Lyn. JJ

great take and wisdom contained within in just a few short powerful lines on an old classic...well written

Thanks for commenting! I'd like to take credit for the wisdom, but I think that goes to the cartoon creators who injected it into their ink and stained my brain with it a long time ago. Children's minds absorb everything they sense in magical ways...
JJ

man I loved that cartoon - so many lessons for life in them :-)

excellent write :-)

Thanks David! I blame cartoons for my sense of humor...
JJ

Saterday mornings. Cartoons. There Wasn't much better then that as children lol. Cool piece man

Thanks for commenting DD! Nothing like those memories as kids enjoying cartoons on Saturday mornings...
JJ.

Classics are always the best, when cartoons were made for the young at heart....which covers any age. ;) One of my fav too.
I'll think out the box with my interpretation, though I know where you were going, I'd say all you need is solid ground and you can crawl to where you're going, but when you have a shaky foundation, it's impossible to do anything, much less stand. Enjoyed jj!

Your inner vision is as beautiful as the vision you caress my eyes with Tara!
You think in philosophical colors that can enlighten the heart!
Shine on me oh you dazzling rainbow!!!
