    “As humans we live in a world full of “things.” There are so many objects surrounding us that overshadow our sense of uniqueness and our ability to marvel at the world as it vanishes in our everyday routine….“The extraordinary happens, if only we commit ourselves to see it through.” 

  • Serenely Proliferating

    Friday Aug 4th to Saturday Aug 26th
    We humans seek rhythm. Rhythm is a pattern, the assurance that events will repeat themselves, be knowable, even predictable in some way. Our mother’s heartbeat thrums assurance in the womb, birthing to accompany lullabies. Song verses tell stories of frightening journeys away from home, but the recurrent chorus always returns us to the pulse.
