I am a visiting Alien in this series, but the idea revolves around the expression "In my world this would be....Better?" I want to create vignettes that circle around social issues in society so that I can express my emotions.....So I first enter Earth and I happened to land in New York City, a place that I grew up in, as my first encounter with earthly matters. Enjoy!....As and addition I am no longer an Alien in the last two images but an average person who happens to find and walk through a Worm Hole....Say What!
Reflect the positive in life. The imagination and the wonder of it all. Life is the journey and choices are the footsteps. I like to step lightly and embrace the possibilities that occur each day, each hour, each minute. Kindness is my guide and humor my staff...........johntaskerart@gmail.com

We Are Here!
Incoming!
Arriving!
The Clouds Begin To Part
Starting My "Home Coming" To Planet Earth!
I have made it to Planet Earth and I have landed in New York City. I will see what it is all about. I will see what the people are like. While I move amongst the buildings and people I will be invisible. This will allow me to observe the culture without influence.
Looking around I noticed a person taking, what they call here, a selfie. That is very interesting to me and I am not sure why they do it all, all the time!
No people. No bicycles. No cars. It is a quiet time. I will stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge and see what is happening on the other side.
I was amazed to see such a large monolithic structure. It must have a deep meaning to the people. Commendable!
I flew to this island and took a selfie (as I have seen many people from this place do). They call her Lady Liberty and she was created in France for this country. I believe it represents "Liberty" to all who enter her shores. Is that true? Is it still true?
I was not sure what this human was doing sitting on the ground, so I made myself invisible to the passing eye and I observed many, many people walk by. I noticed one person dropped something into the container sitting on the ground. They said something I did not understand and the human was so grateful they bowed.
I saw this person asleep and I wanted to connect without awakening them. Earthlings sleep to find life, it is the same in my world. I am not sure what the images were in his mind but I will find out.
I fell into his dream and saw him engulfed in waist and filth. I cannot imagine that this is his life. Maybe it is at the moment, but I will wait in his dreams to see more! To see hope?
As I flowed into the images of the dream I saw a story of loss. I do not know the details of how this happened in his life, but I do know that he probably is still loved by the people missing in his life. I hope they find him, at least visit him in the dream world. The dream world lives in the universe. It lives on my planet! We call it hope.
Still invisible I saw a world that the person sleeping on the bench might never have experienced. I wondered what I could do to help with the imbalance. The first thought was shelter, food and medical attention. Then I had a thought. I remembered something important.
Providing the homeless with stable housing, in the long haul, cost much less than them fending for themselves on the city streets where they are much more vulnerable to violence, illness and pure desperation that ends up driving up health care costs. A cost of $40,000 a year sounds like allot, but compared to hundreds of thousands incurred by just one person going to the emergency room over and over (no lie) saves society money and most importantly allows the individual a chance at life. In my world it is the the right thing to do!!!!
