Homing in and out...

Back on the East Coast
Kate and David’s home
Sits atop a cliff
That looms over Hoboken…
With Manhattan just across
The Hudson River.
Their own west-facing view
Lets them keep their eyes
On the distant sunset…
Lake Merritt
And its pelicans.
I think I can seem them.
You?

Bittersweet October. The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter.

Mourning with a sweet memory...

Peter and I were among the throngs who descended on the Art Gallery of Ontario in droves to see Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirrored Room in 2018.

As the AGO wrote of her passing, “Kusama added whimsy, and a lot of awe into the world with her art. If you’ve experienced one of her works, you’re likely to remember it forever. We’re infinitely grateful for the legacy she leaves and the way her art has moved visitors here in Toronto, and across the globe.” 

This room of mirrors is on exhibit at the AGO until Oct 26th of this year. Go for the first time… or the 100th time. Just go!!!
