I’m so glad your injury has healed enough that you can generously share these beautiful complex directions your fine mind is going in. Really looking forward to reading more!
And an extra special salutation today to a fine Horse(s) Mom! 💐
That book ‘Education’ sounds like just what I am currently researching. I learned so much about the untruths I believed as a kid when I went through all the family artifacts a year ago. I’ll never forget the day I realized my bible-banging mother had absolutely deliberately lied to me* to manipulate us. Shock! And eternal distrust thereafter.
*telling us that you get a white spot on your nail “because you lied”. Ah the irony…
I am ever an old dog (not insulted if called a Bitch: just means I won) learning new tricks! It’s exciting!
I was raised being told I was “too defective (genetically) to have kids” because it turns out my mom’s cult was heavily into eugenics when it was founded. I took that in personally and only learned the origin of it last year @70. Lot to unpack…
I was fortunate to see the exhibits at Capitol Modern during their Mod Gala - the reason I was on Oʻahu when I wrote the previous post. Look forward to catching more of it at other venues.

Thanks for the recommendation.
You just shared a great example of how powerful it can be to become "a new observer" - next weekʻs topic!

It’s so cool how things just ‘pop up’ when they are under scrutiny in other arenas. Like the old VW roadtrip game…
In regards to an inter island major Hawaiian art event:
“ HT25 does not seek to introduce something entirely new; rather, it challenges us to rethink what we believe we know.”

Oh that just makes my day. So glad for you!
I get so much soul nutrition from an art show that it keeps me juiced for days. Yay Vitamin A (rt)!
