An Autumn Equinox Glimpse of the Day

       Everything can be used as an invitation to meditation. A smile, a face on the subway,
the sight of a small flower growing in the crack of  cement pavement, a fall of rich cloth in a shop
window, the way the sun lights up flower pots on a windowsill.  be alert for any sign of beauty or
grace.  Offer up every joy, be awake at all moments, to "the news that is always arriving out of silence."

       Slowly, you will become a master of your own bliss, a chemist of your own joy, with all sorts of remedies always at hand to elevate, cheer, illuminate, and inspire your every breath and movement.

Our Fragile Earth

This past Thursday, was an exceptional day for art openings. The first was Pat Musick and Jerry Carr's extraordinary collaboration on "Our Fragile Home," at the Housatonic Museum in Bridgeport, CT. Through November 2.

Nurture   Protect   Sustain   Reconcile  
Steward   Conserve   Preserve   Love              Pat Musick 2009

This exhibition about words, is Pat Musick's direct response to the first United Nations Earth Day celebration, that Jerry Carr was honored to speak at in 1970. Carr was one of six international astronauts and cosmonauts to share his reponse to seeing earth from the vantage point of space.

Hope and respect for our planet earth, resonates deeply in the serenity and awe of the artists' visual translation of these words and Museum Director, Robin Zeller's installation of "Our Fragile Earth."

The uncanny relevance of this inspiring body of work, is without question, worth a visit to the Housatonic.
