Mindful by Mary Oliver Every Day    I see or hear       something          that more or less kills me    with delight,       that leaves me          like a needle in the haystack    of light.       It is what I was born for—          to look, to listen, to lose myself    inside this soft world—       to instruct myself          over and over in joy,    and acclamation.       Nor am I talking          about the exceptional, the fearful, the dreadful,    the very extravagant—       but of the ordinary,          the common, the very drab the daily presentations.    Oh, good scholar,       I say to myself,          how can you help but grow wise    with such teachings       as these—          the untrimmable light of the world,    the ocean's shine,       the prayers that are made          out of grass?

A sun filled happy day to you!!

Seeing

Being still is a practice of quieting body and mind.  When our mind is still we are able to see things clearly.  ~ Thich  Nhat Hanh

Life after Death These things I know: How the living go on living and how the dead go on living with them So that in a forest even a dead tree casts a shadow and the leaves fall one by one and the branches break in the wind and the bark peels slowly off and the trunk cracks and the rain seeps in through the cracks and the trunk falls to the ground and the moss covers it and in the spring rabbits find it and build their nest inside the dead tree so that nothing is wasted in nature or in love. - Laura Gilpin

Taboo: Sexuality and Sexual Identity in Ceramics  Start Date:  September 19, 2015 End Date: October 17, 2015 Description: September 19 - October 31, 2015 Opening: Saturday, September 19, 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm Co-curated by: Kirsten Stingle & Carr McCuiston Location:  Signature Questions:  Contact Us Thirty plus artists demonstrate the ability of ceramics to have a relevant voice in the social and political discussions of our time. Experience the dynamic range that these three-dimensional works explore as the artists attempt to enlighten, educate or confront societal acceptance. To demonstrate that contemporary craft can be actively engaged in the Atlanta community, Kirsten and I are excited to announce that  Lost-n-Found Youth  will be our non-profit partner. LNFY is Atlanta’s only nonprofit agency actively working to takehomeless lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youths to age 26 off the street and transition them into more permanent housing.

Incantation bowl

Image
Incantation bowls are common wheel-made earthenware bowls characteristic of the Late Antique Near East. The incantations are typically written in black ink spiraling from the inside to the outside, so that the bowl must be turned as it is read. In general, the incantations are directed against evil spirits, various illnesses, and the curses of demons and humans
