The Making of a Saturday

On Saturday, the Get Along Gang attended an
Open House at the Corita Art Center.
Visiting was an embrace of peace.

Located in Los Angeles
on the campus of the Immaculate Heart Community.

It's the spirituality, spunk and political vibe of
the art I love.  Timeless. Possibly more relevant
today than when Corita create it.

Some of the silkscreens contain up to
23 individual colors.  The negative space
is as important as the positive space. Corita
used glue for the writing.

The serigraph I am dreaming about. It's all about
the V.

On Quitting

Sometimes being brave
means quitting.

While others don't believe in having
a Plan B, I believe in being flexible.

Words for the Soul

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live 
a life worthy of the calling you have received. 
 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, 
bearing with one another in love.  
3 Make every effort to keep the unity of 
the Spirit through the bond of peace.

                                Ephesians 4-1:3

Sunday Outlook on Life

Your outlook on life
is a conscious choice.

Susan Murray Young

Paradox

An amazing paradox is that it is
easier to be courageous than to be a
coward. Once you get over the initial
fear of plunging into the unknown, with all its
dangerous snake traps, the mere fact
that you dared to face a hard decision becomes
your ally.

Thoughts on Character

Character is that which reveals
moral purpose, exposing the class
of things a man chooses or avoids.

                            Aristotle


A few weeks ago, the Get Along
visited Back in Time Antiques
in Redlands.

This one is a charmer with
twinkling lights.  Oh Oh France
our hearts are with you.

Namaste

This morning the visiting priest greeted us with
Namaste.  He had to repeat it three times to get
our attention for a satisfactory response from
the congregation.

I bow to the God within you.

My Father Loved Chocolate

It's the simple things in life that are
the most extraordinary.

Paulo Coelho


Pai (pronounced like pie means father)  liked chocolate
in all its forms. German Chocolate Cake,
warm chocolate chip cookies, and mild milk chocolate, too.

On the Value of a Lie

Just bounced over here from Susan Branch's blog
where she disclosed her Dad had passed away in
May.

In May, the Get Along Gang was at the
Morro Bay book signing.  When Sue was
asked about her Dad she said he was having a
hard time breathing and brushed it off.

I turned to Mr. Lee and whispered, "It's bad."
Oh, Sue, sweet authentic Sue, you did right to lie.

Don't Entertain Regret

 

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed

by the thing that you didn't do 

than by the ones you did do.  

So throw off the bowlines.

Sail away form the safe harbor. 

Catch the trade wind in your sail 

Explore. Dream. Discover. 

  Mark Twain

Summer, summer, summer time.

Make a list, name your fears.
Sweep them away.
