Happy morning dog! |
In our
increasingly crowded and regulated world, it’s harder and harder to find places for a dog to
run, but taking time to seek out quiet spaces is worth the trouble for me. A big bonus is giving my own eyes and soul a chance to run free alongside my dog.
The noncredit drawing class I’m taking once a week for six weeks in Traverse
City began last night, and my eyes are hungrily devouring the world, my soul
expanding in the light. Looking at patterns....
Let your spirit soar! |
Running free.... Devouring the world's sights.... Releasing the soul from its fetters.... If not now, when?
Running free certainly fits the “Leelanau Uncaged” theme for Northport’s art/music/poetry/performance street fair this Saturday. With wonderful food offerings, too (what’s a fair without food?), Leelanau Uncaged will be going all day on Saturday and into the evening, and in keeping with the spirit of the day, Dog Ears Books is going “uncaged,” too, with the following events:

Noon:
Poetry reading by Fleda Brown, who will read from her newly released
collection, No Need of Sympathy
1:30
p.m.: Book signing by and conversation with Ken Wylie, co-author of the new
novel (already a regional best-seller), Possessed
4
p.m. Live music by “Prevailing Winds”
I had a
little brain wave this morning. Not sure if I’ll do it or not.... I may let
myself out of a cage in a new way on Saturday, but you’ll have to come to the
bookstore to find out if and how. Hmmm, do I dare??????

Gorgeous images, Pamela. I find the second one down especially pleasing with the leading lines from the fence row grabbing your vision and pointing the way. Very lovely. Karen
Thanks, Karen. I love that fence and the scenes along it. If you go to "A Shot in the Light," you'll see three images from beyond the fence. I wonder how you would rank-order the three.
Yes the second photo is a classic...but I am partial to Sarah. Perhaps you will read some of your own work on Saturday?
I'm not going to say more or give hints. It will be -- IF it will be! -- a surprise.
You're taking a drawing class! Along with everything else you do... Your spirit is probably thankful that you are nourishing this side of yourself. Hope you are having a happy weekend--and running free for a spell.
I'm taking a drawing class as in I'm FINALLY taking a drawing class! The instructor I've wanted to study with for years has never before offered a class at a time that fit my schedule. This fall -- hallelujah!
