There is a conference on the arts coming to Austin TX that I would love to attend but doubt that it will happen. That doesn’t keep me from encouraging others to consider attending. When you see the list of speakers and read the published program you will see why. Please take a few minutes to Google the speaker’s names, but be sure you have some free time because you could get hooked.

This website also mentions a painting by Tim Lowly called Temma on Earth; please take the time to visit Tims website and linger over this painting . Note the dimensions and imagine you’re seeing it full sized. This painting compels me to go beyond thoughts of like or dislike and to thoughts I have not yet fully plumbed. What thoughts come to your mind?
