Then and Now

I am pretty wiped out from the past weekend's studio tour...it was great! but exhausting.  Went to see Roger Waters and the Wall with my kiddo and old girlfriends.

It was an intense show, multi media, pyrotechnics...the entire Wall album

The anti war theme has been updated, does this ever end?...the audience was such a mix of old and young. There is a real following of young kids to the music, the message and the tour.

my girl and my girls....it was a rockin' night!

but, this is the Pink Floyd I most remember from my younger days...

enjoy

 

Tour is one more weekend...Sat and Sun, hope to see you

We Move on

No more early morning drives...that have been my reality of the past 2 months.

It was wonderful that all of us, both of my siblings and all of our kids and families were together...

I am thankful for our little tribe, there are many levels of sadness, regret, 2nd guessing...but in the end we fine...together.

When I die

If you need to weep

Cry for someone

Walking the street beside you.

And when you need me

Put your arms around others

And give them what you need to give me.

You can love me most by letting

Hands touch hands, and

Souls touch souls.

 

You can love me most by

Sharing your Simchas and

Multiplying your Mitzvot.

 

You can love me most by

Letting me live in your eyes

And not on your mind.

 

And when you say Kaddish for me

Remember what our Torah teaches,

Love doesn’t die

People do.

So when all that’s left of me is love

Give me away.

(a Kaddish prayer, source unknown)

We love you dad and miss you so much already

the Global Meal

One moment. One meal. One photograph. Let's eat.

On February 24th at 12pm EST, join thousands of people around the world in a simultaneous global meal. Whether it's breakfast in LA or a midnight snack in Beijing, let's take a moment from our hectic lives and share it with strangers around the world.

Join this world snack...

brought to you by the ArtHouse Co-Op and the Sketchbook Project

The goal:

Feel inspired? Let's take action against world hunger

Our aim with "The Meal" is to inspire a feeling of community across geographic and cultural boundaries, while addressing the statement that "you are what you eat." However, for nearly a billion people around the world, hunger is a constant daily reality and "what you eat" is never enough. In conceiving of this project, our thoughts immediately turned to the chronic problem of global hunger and the amazing organizations that struggle against this persistent crisis. We would love to direct participants in the project to support Action Against Hunger, one of the world's most effective and efficient nonprofit organizations. Take a look at the many ways to get involved today.

Postcards from the Edge...

I am using Rebecca's post title for Postcards today...as I have been traveling back and forth lately..on the edge, between here and the city of my birth.  Before leaving today Tess and I walked briefly along the painted dikes that line the Arkansas river.

My brother started this huge mural project in the early 80's...I'm sure having no idea that his early morning forays, laying down some paint before the police caught them, their 'tag' then....tee hee,

would turn into such a celebrated attraction.

Finding moments of grace where I can....

Citrus Blast

as metyphor...citrus, the sweet and the sour, the lime and the orange...

I may be putting my head in the sand but have chosen to savor the orange sky...the mandarin orange

it's a path we all journey down...trying to find the grace and savor the sweet.

Sending Light

Finding joy in the unexpected gifts of a family pulling together...

sending light and fierce strength to both my dad and to my friend Rebecca

 

To Lift my Spirits

as if on cue...the Amaryllis is blooming

to lift my spririts from sadness to hopefullness

my sweet dad has a long road of recovery ahead...but my spirits are blooming
