Sorry you have to come”home” - it’s more challenging since you left - glad you had some respite - yes, important to be the best of what we can be and to remember there is more that unites us as human beings than divides us. 🙏, as always, for your “reflections” ( get the pun - even in your photos!)

Hi B...it's the ungodly hour of 4:30 in the a.m. as we prepare to leave for the airport. On returning, I remembered that little gallery over in East Boston. There are safe harbors--gunkholes, sailiors might call them--to be the best we can be. See you soon...

Coming back to what’s going on is not easy but having your photography to work on is a fantastic distraction. I’ve been taking online workshops from Louise Fletcher and Nicholas Wilton. They’re keeping me as sane as I can be at this moment. Welcome home!

Hi Cynthia...art has always kept me going; I'll never stop. What I continue to struggle with, as I was in Europe, was wondering if my art was relevant to what is going on and how to make it so.

So far, here at home, it's just the news, news, news, which is what we were being subjected to in Europe. If you kind of keep your head down and limit how much you see everyday, well, that's a survival technique. And I have to admit, every time I travel I miss drip coffee and American peanut butter. 8 D
