As I mentioned in my last couple emails, I was at the Alegre Retreat in SW Colorado all last week, and Thursday I drove over to Moab and Arches National Park for the day. What an amazing and inspirational experience! I did speak to a woman park ranger about the federal funding cuts to the National Park system, and she told me they are just barely hanging on. I urge all of you to support and visit at least one National Park in the next several months, and experience the wonder of these sacred places. They deserve to be protected and cherished.
This is one of my favorite photos. It is of a 350 foot tall rock tower know as the Three Gossips. To the right of them is Sheep Rock. If it looks familiar, it was shown briefly in the opening scene credits of the 1989 film ‘Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade’. (The John Williams theme song is my morning alarm.)
I had a glorious day to visit the park and take photos. About 25 years ago I took my kids to the park. When I realized that Gateway Colorado was just over the border from Utah, I figured it was time to go back! There is nothing like spending time in Nature to get your heart and soul re-aligned. I got my creative mojo back in high gear, and this week I am finishing the piece I started at the retreat.
For those of you near Lowell Massachusetts, please note that a week from Saturday, on May 16, I will be attending an Artist Reception for the Soul Stories exhibit at the New England Quilt Museum. You can RSVP for our 1 pm lecture on their website. About a dozen of the artists will be in attendance!
On Friday June 5th I will be in Houston giving a lecture on Art & Activism, for World Environment Day. Information is on the top of my personal Facebook page now, including a QR code to RSVP.
