1984. read


in the bookshop
feeling right at home
reading books

 



A good book can make you feel right at home. A book is like a garden that blossoms and blooms. Books are like friends. Books are good things to have. “If you only read the books, everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.” Haruki Murakami




1983. the quiet


just sitting
waiting for the sun to rise
two buddhas

 



Early morning is a favorite time of day. Just sitting, listening to the quiet.




1982. our gang


hangin’ out
away from the crowd of grownups 
the little rascals

 




Yesterday’s opening of an art exhibit at Aubrey Arboretum was well attended. It was crowded and loud. Food was plentiful. Wines and children’s punch drinks also plentiful. The exhibition of paintings by Pragya Gupta was impressive and inspiring. My favorite takeaway was this photo of a group of children hanging out together. Made me think of the old black and white TV series, Our Gang.
