 “They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself."
~Andy Warhol  “Maude’s House”
There is a Irish cottage along the Inagh River (Irish eidhneach, "abounding in ivy") in County Clare, Ireland that once belonged to a woman named Maude. To reach her house, one must walk a wooded path that opens into a green meadow, cross an iron gate and climb mist covered steps to the property. The home, barn and outbuildings stand as they were left but each time I return to Maude’s House, I am reminded that all things that have form eventually decay. But I do not dislike decay because it reveals that memory is somehow still alive. "Maude's House" will be on exhibition at the National Juried Photography Show Wickford, Rhode Island Dates: October 19 - November 11, 2018 Opening Reception: October 19, 6:30-8:30pm https://wickfordart.org  The legendary tumbleweed is really a nurse crop that protects the growth of prairie grasses under its shade, and then sacrifices itself and blows away."
~Antoine Predock  "When the white flame in us is gone,
And we that lost the world's delight Stiffen in darkness, left alone To crumble in our separate night; When your swift hair is quiet in death, And through the lips corruption thrust Has stilled the labour of my breath -- When we are dust, when we are dust Not dead, not undesirous yet, Still sentient, still unsatisfied, We'll ride the air, and shine, and flit, Around the places where we died . . ." ~Rupert Brooke  Congratulations to my friend Elise Lindo on her new position as music instructor at Tabor Academy!

beneath the weight of our absent selves.” ~Maya Angelou  “No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.”
~Haruki Murakami  “Are you ready?" Klaus asked finally.
"No," Sunny answered. "Me neither," Violet said, "but if we wait until we're ready we'll be waiting for the rest of our lives, Let's go.” ~Lemony Snicket, A Series Of Unfortunate Events ~Lemony Snicket |
