Epilogues -- use your inner mind, appreciate the history, do art, get creative, have fun, get healthy.
The Australian Aboriginese 50K years back into history while navigating their way around the very dangerous 'outback' created some valuable rituals which became their cultural history and a big part of their belief system.
One such ritual was called "dreamtime" of which they believed was their creator showing them "their way" ... Dreamtime was their reality ... As they traverse the Austrailian outback they created what are/is known as "Songlines" which identified all quarks, crannies and hazards of their different environments. Rivers, trees, weather, animals, the sky, fire all had songlines -- many of which were turned into ceremonial dances, cave drawings and storylines that have passed from generation to generation.
In much the same way as Songlines, Madam uses NameSongs as a way of navigating the subconscious (the inner mind) and the creative aspects that often emerge from within ...
In Madam's case, name/NameSongs, dreams, images, music, artistic impulses-intuitions, tinytales or stories, toons, skits and other images that pop up into our conscious minds.
Thus, maybe attributable to war, there was born a niche of using funny NameSongs, to connect to life-improving issues, fostering the internal creative process, artworks and more.
Academia plays a role ... Then it occurred to me, why not apply namessongs, to art and art to health. After all health and wellness should be the health part of art, especially the physical arts forms, like dancing, ballet, skating, diving, martial arts katas, symchronized swimming, jazz-dancing, the grace of the jump shot, the form and style of tracj runners -- the form and grace looks artistic to me.
Again, another revelation. Why not tie the wellness benefits there are inherent in the many art practices into a concept the fuses both art and health-wellness and NameSongs as identifiers.
And there it is. The Madam FloodPuppy Art-Is-Health or the Art-Health Fiusion concept -- which, because of the arts, is a "fun" way to "edutain or "info'tain" ... It makes sense to engage in the arts and at the same time improve one's health ... or at least acknowledge ... "art helps" with wellness, prevention, self-worth, critical thinking, self-expression and can even play a role in community equity building.
so the Madam's job is to make the use of 2nd worlds (the inner mind) available to everyone as a fun tool to (if we might say) for the World to Xpress its-health-self"
