Button Sunday

This is often all we can do in a world that’s driving us mad or breaking our hearts.

I celebrated art today by spending a leisurely few hours alone at the Bayou City Arts Festival. There were a couple of artists I wanted to see/meet, but I was happy to absorb art and creativity on every level I could. This is the first public event I’ve attended in more than two years. It was an odd experience being among lots of strangers again, but the weather was good, there was plenty of water to drink and shade to enjoy for brief rests, along with live music and SO MUCH ART. You can be sure you’ll be seeing photos from the day in future posts.

Seeing behind an artist’s festival exhibition space can be as fun as seeing what’s inside it.

It was a good, inspiring way to finish off my birthday weekend. I saw and explored things that make me want to write as well as paint. Our world would be so grim without the good energy of animals, the healing energy of nature, and the creative energy of humans. Music, dance, film, books, and the many varieties of visual art–I’m endlessly grateful for it all.

Stunning day for a festival.
