Thursday Door in SMA

My contribution to this week’s Norm’s Thursday Door Photo Challenge is of a door in San Miguel de Allende that beckons me in with a sense of peace and serenity. The second picture is of the gentleman above the door who looks sad. But perhaps that is his serene look. Check out some great door… Continue reading Thursday Door in SMA

A Stone-Faced Oddity

In my January 7, 2019 blog I promised more examples of art produced at the Made by Anado art gallery in the tiny village of Atotonilco just outside of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

Up or Down? Back or Forward? Or Now?

  I soared high, not knowing if I would fall or find freedom. Up, up.   Do I long for what was,   or grasp the next rail on my skyward struggle?   The past? The future? Or view life at eye level, releasing the need to recall or anticipate?   Just be, In this moment,… Continue reading Up or Down? Back or Forward? Or Now?
