still still
Today in my yoga class the teacher was talking about the over-stimulating world we live in. Yes. And then… there is the nice still, not moving: ice. Still here. The normal date for ice-out, as it’s called is today, April 15. The lake is still covered. Still still. Meantime, I’m noticing the evolution of my […]
momentum + lag
This is how the day started yesterday. Not too promising. And then it progressed: Further: This juxtaposition of the fading winter and oncoming spring reminded me of how tides work: we all know they are controlled by the moon. The moon affects the hugest bodies of water in the tide as it goes in and […]
surface / more than surface
This is the ice situation. Still there – a solid surface. And if you were to be here in person, it would not look a whole lot different. It’s grayer than a few days ago – wetter from the warm weather. Today I took the 1 and 1/2 hour trip over to the big hospital […]
“snow” peas
April 10: peas in the ground. And, because the outdoor faucet is not turned on, I added on top this snow (blessed snow) to moisten them! Now, will they be up, blooming and producing peas by the time Hunter and Lynn arrive mid-June???? As I was putting in the peas, I remembered an experience of […]
still white
White snow still covers the lake. It’s been a long winter. And just because there is nothing I can do about that – I think, what a relief, really. The darn snow will last as long as it pleases. I spend way too much time trying to control other matters. But weather? In Bob Dylan’s Chronicles, […]
peeking
Do you see that yellow-green – the color that I was dyeing my fabric all winter long??? It’s the first evidence of spring. I’m pretty sure it was NOT there yesterday – I’ve been eyeing that patch of earth. And today – suddenly! It’s on the edge of the snowy field still covering the garden. […]
yin yang
Here they are: yin and yang. Looking as tired as I feel. I just spent the morning doing Tai Chi with the master, who comes to this area several times a year. I have been learning this form for a little more than a year – these gatherings draw people from several states – and […]
photographer’s colors
This is the overall view photo from the photographer. The art translated in this way in his sharp lighting, away from sunlight. Another translation of the colors running through it. The piece looks one way in natural light, another way under the lights in the Stimson Center, and this way with his lights. Now, onto […]
show’s up
Ariella hanging left side Will and Samsun working on right It’s up! And surely the gods and goddesses were with me for this surprisingly fun event. Not to mention my personal chauffeur, Samsun, and DC connection/PR person/ personal assistant, Ariella. I don’t know how we happened to get the one day in the whole week […]
art in the car
Does this look like art? I hope not. I want it to look well-disguised as we cruise down the highway. No one would guess we are carrying art! Heavens! I’ll drive this car to DC and then say good-bye to it: my son, Samsun, will drive on to Iowa and get many more miles out […]
