a seed of flower

this foto reminded me of water crystals in the "What in the @#!! Do We Know?" beautifully arranged; like the iris of an eye containing the beautiful world.

Dia De Los Muertos

Dia De Los Muertos at the Museum of Northern Arizona Nov 2. 2005
My Flagsatff high school intern Kate helped with the installation.

The most touching moment was recognizing Mrs. Moreno who was the school yard Mom keeping the peace or giving you a piece of gum and always asking about my mom when I was in grade school. All these Abuelitas, and Our Lady everywhere. Corn. Hot chocolate. Photographs of eternally young and ancient worn, Pan de Muerte, flowers,candles, food, drink; One Abuelita held the photo of her husband close to her heart. I said he was lucky to be surrounded by all these beautiful ladies, and we all laughed. as in Life as in Death. The memories. The tears. It is all a cycle. memories of school yards, looking at a Lady in Blue,Mariachis on Sunday mass, the words of from Kibran's The Prophet; wondering what Lady Liberty thinks of all this? Give me Liberty or Give Me Death? From one world to another. Out of the dark, shining, was Our Lady watching out for all of us.
