The Art of Sea Hear Now

-
Since, I missed the first Sea Hear Now. I knew I could hear the music if I went to Asbury Park. But, I really wanted to be in there to see all of the art. There is usually a Art Show in the Carousel Buiding on the Friday night before. I have missed it because of working every year. I really didn't know if I was going to experience the inside of Sea Hear Now until that morning. I ended up hanging out in the Carousel Building for a long time in the morning. And, I ended up going back in the afternoon meeting an Artist and his lovely partner GG, GIGI or what I named her Double G. The conversation was easy, and a complete joy. They came down from New York City and she loves the Killers. I think of music as an Art. But, honestly I think it is harder to be a musician. Like if you hit a wrong note, how must you feel up there on stage. While Art in any medium mistakes are welcomed. And, you are told sometimes making a mistake s ends up the best part of a work. The Artist from New Jersey is:Dylan Egon The name of the work on Sunset Pavillion is Boombox Saint from 2016. When I went to NYC I have seen his works on walls all over the place. So, to meet him I was fascinated. I will be sharing pictures on my stories today of us at the Carousel Building. I will also be sharing all the featured musicians who displayed thier art in the Transparent Gallery (Danny Clinch)Art Tent. This is my last post for Sea Hear Now. But, I just want to conclude what an explosion of the senses this festival is. There is talent from Surfers, Musicians and Visual Artists all converging on Asbury Park for the last weekend of summer. It is a great way to celebrate local summer. I remember before Danny Clinch arrived on the scene, and Marilyn Schlossbach (White Chapel Project) spearheaded an Endless Summer weekend. Come to think of it, Marilyn's Event space in Long Branch is just as much an explosion of the senses. And, she has the food part of a sensory overload. I had the fairy tale fritters which were excellent. The fairy tale part of it for me, was feeling good about eating vegetables. Quote of the Day: To improve the golden moment of opportunity, and catch the good that is within our reach, is the great art of life. William Samuel Johnson. Song of the Day: Weezer. Buddy Holly I was not there. But, I saw a video shared. I love the roller skating video behind them. I find myself singing this song to myself all weekend!

Brave

Life is teaching me how brave I have to be, even in retirement. I really thought I would have more control of my life. Decision making would become easier. I am not learning the hard way. I am enjoying the process But, the hardest lesson I learned this past year is I don't have control over anything. And my motto has always been if the going gets tough, the tough gets going The problem is I am a softy, a sentimental, sensitive, multi-faceted soft human being. Who just so happens to want to be as strong and brilliant as a diamond. Luckily, I took a complete day for myself in Princeton yesterday I had one day with interaction with others, viewing an exhibition I am part of, visiting my favorite stores, eating lunch in a french tea room, going to a movie and walking a labyrinth. I am going to share pictures in my stories each day this week. Today I am going to talk about bravery. The day before this I went to Sight and Sound Theater and witnessed the Spectacular story

In 2020 the first post I did was to celebrate the four year old me. I finally feel like I can put myself back in that place again. But, look forward to all that is ahead of me. This year of not working was clearing my mind, heart and soul. I felt in order to do that, I had to feel everything. Think about the past and feel it. And, it was wonderful. But, I realized how long, naturally, I have been talking to myself, unkindly. So, it has been a process. A process I have taken great pride in. I listened to what makes me happy and peaceful. If it made me nervous, I did it anyway. But, when it came to feeling vulnerable, I took a step back. Trust of others is my biggest issue. And, it is still something I am dealing with. This week I took a picture of my grandson on the same ride, as I had been on in this picture. The boats have been replaced, but it still has the bell. And, the bell still sounds the same. He took control of the steering wheel, and never let go. But, to

Well, golly gee!!! how lucky can I be? I get to write again about how resillient and strong I can be!!!! Sounds pretty sarcastic, but it really is not. I am just as surprised as you are going to be when you read what I have just been through. A year ago I noticed a strange pain in my arm. I looked at my back to see if there was anything unusual. And, there was a growth, I never saw before. And, through the weeks and months to follow, it would bleed. I didn't know whether the black it was turning was a scab or something to worry about. Since, I am on this journey of not letting my worry and concern overcome my way of thinking. I just went with the thought of getting myself together financially after leaving my job. I filled out forms. I applied for anything and everything to make sure I was financially secure. When January came around I knew my focus became about getting health insurance and filling out those forms. And, then waiting for a reply. By, March I had insuran
