All through the rainy night, kindred spirits, upstarts, playfellows, and intimates arrived to shake things up. Old friends returned with something garden-fresh to say. Legendary individuals and loyal customers gave the exhibit their warmest gift of presence yet – but not even the priests that asked for wet weather could explain the rapture of celebrating a career arc that’s compressed in 30 art pieces.
Self-entitlement? Trickster? Put-on? Invented! Whatever the reason is for the exhibit, bad guys certainly deserve no better. So, what’s good in the world aside from rain dropped blessings? Art, as always. Music, as always. Friendship, love, and beyond. All those molasses that perk us up and let us feel the sweet ecstasy that we are.
There must be hordes of irate art enthusiasts out there. I’m more ready and legal than ever to work for you. When I was younger, I had weapons-grade allure. Now, I’m just delicate. The Garden’s philosophical musings demand some kind of cultural watershed for the disgruntled and the impaired. If in anyway you’re affected, welcome to the beautiful congested world of woe and wretchedness.
This garden blooms for therapeutic benefits.
We walk the fertile and furtive grounds so we won’t be satisfied. There’s always something to fuss about, someone to care about. We’re unrelaxed but it’s not bad. It’s just another way of creating a headspace where you believe you have a purpose. We are always riddled with ominous news and views but the current of life sways over these painted images, lines and shadows. It is the dream of art to bind us in a world full of realization, and once we’re convinced that life is what we paint in ourselves, then art succeeds in making this world at least as weightless as an artist’s brush stroke. I’m kidding of course.
My wholehearted and bona fide gratitude to all my family and friends who’ve supported THE GARDEN with fondness, appreciation and great music.
Nothing it seems can upset the balance of good and evil.
