WILL I EVER LEARN ALL OF LIFE'S LESSONS

SKITTLES, ARCATA THEATER, ARCATA, 2010

I have been printing, matting, and framing all day long for my new exhibition that I am titling ARCATA IN EUREKA. The exhibit will be in one of the small upstairs galleries in the RAA exhibition hall in Eureka. All the images are of the study I have been working on in and around the plaza in Arcata.

The above image is one that I sat with for a couple of years, and just today figured out how to present it. This is a crop of a considerably larger image of the doors. I feel fortunate that my camera has enough pixels to allow for this.  I hope to hang the show at least by early next week, but if I continue on this roll, I may install it tomorrow.

The title of today's posting refers to the fact that I am still learning lessons about my egoic issues. It seems like whenever I think I am done that my "teacher" assigns a new and deeper lesson. I sometimes even forget that that is what is happening, and I find myself all caught up in issues of the ego. I found recently that I sometimes must allow things to "play" for awhile before I am capable of seeing what is afoot.
