Whimsy versus Reality versus Assumptions based on Perceptions



Another day. A little rain Laura and Nancy were watching for before I got there. A chance to meet Elena. Regret that I didn't jump up to give her a hug she deserved. {{{hugs Elena}}}. Sometimes I wonder why I let inhibitions interfere. Interesting people browsing with interesting life experiences, but me I stayed separate and took some more whimsy in the garden. From where I sat I watched Louie and Karl (Laura's four legged ones)yearning to be part of the experience, but oh so patiently waiting for Mom's dual life to get over so they could have her back. Did I choose the dog's life? Always so patiently waiting. Waiting is so easy, no mistakes, no errors, no life lessons. Did my usual debate thing at restaurant work in casual conversation. Does anyone really eat cat food? From what I've witnessed... a poor elderly companion would feed their best friend before themselves. Their yet reason for living. Being needed, being unconditionally loved. I'm pretty sure you can still buy tuna cheaper than cat food.

So nice to meet you yesterday Doris!! Your work is beautiful! Keep doing what you do and don't let the "censor" get you down!!

Doris, you sound as sad as you looked yesterday. I wanted to give you a hug but everyone's not as huggy as me (my family says) so I didn't want to intrude on your space. It's so easy feeling like you're on the outside...
You're art is beautiful. I knew which yours were right away and pointed them out to my family. You have a beautifully soft style. Through your hands you portray the world's delicateness.

Wow, you have quite a series/theme going based on Laura's exhibit. Love your garden whimsey. You can only be who you are and no one else. I admire you staying so focused in your art zone despite the goings-ons. Mark of a true creative (in my opinion).
If I had a cat, I'd give him/her tuna fish, but today tuna fish salad feeds me.
Glad to see you continuing to get your gifts out there!
