Be like the sun for grace and mercy.

Be like the night to cover others' faults.

Be like running water for generosity.

Be like death for rage and anger.

Be like the Earth for modesty.

Appear as you are. Be as you appear.

Rumi

My friend Lindsey and her husband just opened a coffee shop, where my work will be dominating the wall space for the foreseeable future.

"The moon is most happy when it is full,

the sun always looks like a perfectly minted gold coin

polished and placed in flight by God's playful kiss.

And so many varieties of fruit hang plump and round.

I see the beautiful curve of a pregnant belly

shaped by a soul within,

and the earth itself.

I have gotten the hint:

There is something about circles the Beloved likes.

Within the circle of a Perfect One

there is an infinite community of light."

– Hafiz

This is my set-up for the Pittsburg Artwalk.

My daughter Eden got in on the fun too.

I have been working on some jelly-mushrooms (among other things).........
