OK, I know my dad's Mac should work just like ours... but it doesn't seem to so no photo today. Sorry!! I have such good imagery news to share with you, too! What a shame. I had the most lucky day!!
First of all, I'm finally over a horrid virus both Mikel and I got this week. Ick! Who gets sick in July? Due to the regeneration of normal strength and lack of exhaustion, I got the chance to go see UP at the theater (I love matinees!!) and it was so great. It was part of our wedding vows to go on many adventures together so it's a very meaningful movie to me. It made me think about kinds of adventures. I love the part when the boys says, "It's the boring stuff I remember best."
Anyway, here's the lucky part of my day: before the movie, I went to get some tea at my new favorite cafe in Montpelier when I realized there was a guy at a table furiously writing in a notebook. I thought be must be an artist or writer. Then I saw him taping the small pages to the wall of the cafe under some paintings. I got up to see what the paintings were and realized I recognized his work but I couldn't remember from where. I'm so glad I asked him because it turns out he is a painter I have been really excited about!! His name is David E. Kearns (here's his website: www.davidekearns.com). He lives in Vermont. I found his blog a while ago through some Vermont residency searching and was totally bummed when he stopped writing in it. I just can't believe my luck that I would be able to meet him!
I'm still not sure how to verbalize why I'm so drawn to his work, but I think it has to do with the difference in substance between different objects in his paintings. The paintings I saw today were mostly light washes and pastels, but there were some darker, stronger, richer parts that balanced out the lighter parts and didn't let them just fade away. Also, the freshness of brushstrokes is pretty sweet. Anway, he told me that he's having a show for a week in Johnson at the Vermont Studio Center Gallery so if you are interested (and in the area!) come see! Sorry I can't post any photos on here. His website is cool, though!
Two cool things I learned this week:
1. We have energy black holes in our bodies.
2. The largest amount of mass in our bodies is made up of connective tissue.
Time to figure out this photo business... Goodnight!

Let's hear more about this black holes in the body idea!
I guess we have energy cysts called "Samskaras" that are tightly condensed balls of energy collapsed on themselves like black holes in space. I don't really know how to write more about it (I don't really fully understand it yet) but I read that it is from a yogic view of psychoneuroanatony. Could easily sound kind of crazy, but I like paralells between micro and macrocosms.
If this is interesting at all you should check out this book I'm reading called "Yoga and the Guest for the True Self" by Stephen Cope.
Goodnight! xoxo
Oops, I mean "Yoga and the Quest for the True Self". Sorry!
