A Fun Evening

Friday evening, I drove my sister and I to John Sokol's Opening Reception at Group 10 Art Gallery in downtown Kent, Ohio. The show was Terra Fabula "Earthy Tales" ~ it was an event showcasing the specialized artistic talent of 3 Ohio artists.

It was great to see my longtime friend, John, and my sister was happy to meet him.

We arrived in Kent early enough to enjoy a casual relaxing dinner at Bricco.

There is a wonderful sculpture in front of the gallery that is dedicated to our men and women who served in the armed forces. A very large flower sculpture graces the opposite end of the gallery outside.

The gallery is directly across the street from the grand entranceway that connects downtown Kent to Kent State University.

It was a beautiful pleasant evening that my sister and I enjoyed sharing together.

Just a small section of the cement base that anchors the large Flower sculpture. Being a lizard lover, I had to spotlight the lizard.

For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come!

I AM A "SEARCHER"

"I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves."

I am THE LOVERS Tarot Card

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. THE LOVERS represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made. Originally, this card was just called LOVE. And that's acually more apt than "LOVERS." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that you have or will come across a person, a career, challenge, or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
