River Gallery:  Zen and Meditation among the photos – can you find them?  Center and lower left.

Reminder! Don’t forget to check out Create a Connection’s Sunday’s Creativity Challenge for my host post this week:  Yellow.

I can tell I’m still not ready to write much today.  So instead I’ll post pictures from yesterday’s opening at River Gallery in Galesville, Md. 

The cozy gallery was packed to non-moving; hard to tell the artists from the visitors.  Met several on chance.  I’m told it’s better in the spring when folks can spread outdoors – no such yesterday with the river frozen.  Dhyana (that’s her standing outside the gallery) drove me because I couldn’t get my key to turn in the lock (husband fixed it – a matter of manhandling the steering wheel a full turn so that it would click into lock position – but that was later), and we had a wonderful meal at the restaurant next door to the gallery while we waited for AAA to come rescue her keys when she locked them in the car.

I got an honorable mention for Zen (the torso).  But better yet, I got invited to keep some pieces there full time after the show is done!

Here are the photos.  enjoy!

thought for the day:  …when you really annunciate what you want in the world you will always be greeted, in the first place, with some species of silence. It may be that the silence is there so that you can hear exactly what you have asked for, and hear it more clearly so that you can get it right.  It the goal is real and intensely personal, as it should be, others naturally should not be able to understand it the first time it finds its own voice.  t means in a way, in a very difficult way, that you are on to something.  Thought daunting, at the beginning, silence is good, and silence is a testing fire…there is a particular and delicious terror to the anticipatory silence that we create from actually following our heart’s desires.  David Whyte, Crossing the Unknown Sea:  Work as a Pilgrimage of Identity
