Sunny Saturday morning

Today is the last saturday in April.
Wow, that was fast. or at least,
it seemed to go by SO fast.

I heard that yesterday was International
Ninja Day. Or, was it International
Dress As A Ninja Day. ??? Not sure.
Either way, I was sorry I found out
after I had gotten dressed.

someone's opinion ....

"My prediction
is that we will see
ourselves more and more connected to
the quantum field, not physically
but through the mind. This "mind field"
is invisible and universal; it encompasses
all living things; it weaves the
fabric of nature. As our prejudice in
favor of solid, concrete things fades
away, certain fringe phenomena will
become everyday. Healing without
touch will be legitimized, since the human
body can be altered by altering
the field. Telepathy and clairvoyance
will seem ordinary, since time and
distance are compressed to a single
point in the field; Intuition and
epiphanies will be explained as subtle
field interactions.

"The best outcome
would be that wisdom
will reemerge as a vital human
capacity, for there is no doubt that
our spiritual forebears were deeply in
touch with the same invisible reality
that still surrounds us. We have shut
out that reality in our stubborn, rigid
insistence on believing our senses,
but seeing with the eyes of the soul is
possible. In the end, a new
humanity is also possible once we
escape the prison we have sentenced
ourselves to for far too long. The so-called
sixth sense isn't a separate
sense at all, but a new opening for human
evolution with unlimited
possibilities."

-Deepak Chopra, *Forbes* magazine

Finding Home !



Last week, I went to the show opening of this
marvellous travelling tapestry show
entitled "Finding Home".
this amazing and thought provoking
exhibition is made up of the work
of 26 artists.
13 Canadians and 13 Australians
each wove post-card sized tapestries
and sent them all off in the mail.

The Mail !

The show continues
at the Montreal Centre for Contemporary Textiles
(MCCT/CTCM) until May 12.

Sunday

It has been several days of meetings, guests,
surprises, technical difficulties and rushing
people off to the Train Station ....
and already it is Sunday night.

The well-seasoned lilac bush beside my
kitchen door has officially made leaves.
The neighbour's bright yellow tulips
have been in bloom.
the Knitting Companion's friend
Elvis is now a big brother.

Passport news of the Good sort:
my passport adventure is on hold
for the time, but should be ready in a few weeks.
No trip to New York in the forecast (there
were questions in the Comments),
a trip to Chicago for a conference later on.
