The morning after

Who hit me with an anvil/hammer thing. Sore everywhere. Long hours at these festivals. We had eleven hours Friday, ten hours Saturday and a mere six hours Sunday. Janice across the way modeled the good behavior of cleaning up the studio before I left, so we were both there a good hour and 1/2 after the rest cleared out.

It was good to see so many people discover the attic in the Rotary Centre. Because of the layout of the building, it appears as if the area where we are working is a no go zone. Most are being thoughtful or polite by not coming back along the bend in the wall and traveling up our hallway to discover…. us!

Another cold, gray day. However, the weather channel promises us that we will all be living in the tropics by Wednesday. Where is that instant season switch on my body?

But while we are whining about the weather we do mention that we can’t complain. There are no funnel clouds, no earthquakes, we are not standing waist deep in the aquarium of our homes, there are no tropical rainstorms, tsunamis, electrical storms burning the powerlines into powder. See, we do live in paradise.

Point of view.

Art Walk is the next art festival that all of us at the Rotary Centre are participating in. I have the One Woman show in July and another at the end of August. Also, two images are now on display in Toronto and one in Sacramento. Edmonton’s The Works festival has some of my art at the consignment tent, as well. In September I am preparing a bridges of Europe series for the Bean Scene North on Ellis street. Meanwhile, I finished many hand made art cards to go for sale at Shop the Valley, Summerhill winery.

Today, I will just attempt to clean out the house and the studio and recover some zest, pep, spice, relish, gusto and all of that stuff.

I have begun the article for Senior’s Choice Magazine about the senior senoras at the Centre. I expect to learn a great deal about the women artists who have studios surrounding mine. It will be interesting.

Kelowna is beyond the crossroads. I remember when five years ago people spoke about the cross roads. Now we are just putting in more roads period. The design to hold long-term value comes as a result of vision on the part of the public and the politicians. When we run our household, we have a strategy and a governing philosophy in place. Our family has practices that we adhere to. Yes, buying a new computer would be fantastic but our goal is to pay down our debts. Without a firm commitment to a philosophy, we are at the whim of our own urges.

And we all know how amazingly agile the mind is at creating justifications for variants from the vision. Be it variants from requiring parking, considering run off, providing affordable housing, keeping the seniors in place in a neighbourhood which will protect and look out for them, so many editions arise. If acquiring some glittering gold blinds us and it will, then we veer.

We can create justification for any decision in the moment if we are after money, power, status instead of adhering to a path of stewardship of the environment and the community. Why wouldn’t it be just as difficult for a government to stick to a vision as it is for an individual? Having the Part of the globe series to revisit is one way of dealing with the vicissitudes of political life.
