I M Perfect lady

An Art Show was planned before the flooding rain came.  And now…we wondered do we carry on.

Are there rules, or is there a period between disaster and when we gather for joy?

The show is scheduled for Sunday Afternoon, exactly a week after the rain.

How are we supposed to respond in the days after, in our lives, with our plans?

I know that there are families facing really hard times, and pain and suffering surrounds them.

In the darker times of my life, I liked being able to leave my pain behind and look at art.

Art gave my soul energy.

This show is outside, what I like to call a "Pop-up Art Show". 

It is just a few of us, a casual affair.

Outside along the bike path.

While at first it seemed improper to display bright joy inspiring items, it now seems to me that it is a must.

Artists are bringers of the Light.

We counter the darker times.

We share emotions of joy.

We inspire hope and a brighter future.

I am drawn to art that makes me smile and touches something inside of me.

The emotions that art brings out, seem to be the opposite of what devastation feels like.

Artist are needed the most when life's disasters strike.

So, the Pop Up Show will go on.

We will display joy and whimsy.

We will make your heart smile and move hope inside.

The greatest things I needed when I was in my darkest spot, was to see someone else who had suffered and was now thriving in life.

Pop up art shows are a way of celebrating that life does go on.

Humanity has the incredible ability to suffer greatly and still find the strength to be in joy.

What I know about suffering, it changes you.

It can open up places you never knew you had.

In those deep places of pain, one day you will feel equal amounts of love, joy and peace.

May those who feel drawn to attend come and enjoy a few hours of Art.
