Metal and Stone that hold Spirit and Life.......

More aesthetica from the collections. The Jade and Turquoise Scepter (JUI), Unusual Patinated Bronze in front of Guy Robinson's painting, my favorite Dorja, and Garden Bronze Buddah from the yard.

Second Sight by Jami Sieber

assemblage

Decades ago I removed the bottom of an old Champleve' "planter".....It is now beneath the water of a Japanese fountain.....here, shown with the distorted reflection of the round stained glass window in the Meditation Room.....

HOUSES A BEAUTIFUL TREASURE.......

Musical Incense - volume one (Hang and Guitar Duets) by Laura Inserra

LEGACY AND KATHRYN......

I WAS SO EXCITED TO HEAR THAT LAST YEAR'S DANCERS WOULD RETURN THIS SEASON TO PERFORM WITH THIS SEASON'S CONTENDERS.......IT'S HARD TO REMAIN IN THE LIMELIGHT OF POPULARITY WITH AMERICANS, WHICH HAVE SHORT MEMORIES AND EASILY REVERT TO LOW BROW TASTES....THEY ARE BOTH BRILLIANT, BUT NOT YET BANKABLE UNTIL THEY'RE MADE ICONS BY THEIR DEVOTEES....I'M ONE.....I'M ONE......

but....this is a new season.......I'm leaning toward ALEX WONG.....He may become the greatest dancer in America.......

Jamie needs to find that "something" that everyone seems to think he's not already "got"....Trust me...he DOES have it....already! Robert and Kent have their eyes on the prize too & possess the talent to get it! And, I'm eager to see Sonya Tayeh's choreography in Red!! Why can't we just skip Tuesday and get on to Wednesday?
