Finally – it was the night of the show – Terri Gold And Steve Miller: Planet

Finally it was the night of the show, on the way to the gallery my cell phone rings and it is an old friend, someone I have known since high school, saying he is sending another old friend over to my opening. Five minutes later he is the second guest to walk in. He still had the same great style and the same sparkle in his eye – we share a quick life story update and reconnect.

He is married happily and well with many children and brings with him a fabulous dog and then to begin my night on a real high says very casually, after hearing about the journey and looking at the work, I will take that one…

In India and all over the Far East the first sale of the day is very auspicious and brings good luck and good feelings all the way around and I must say it did.

Thank God for home boys !!

It was a pleasure to collaborate with Steve Miller and Julie Keyes  in creating this show. We had a wonderful night and the work was very well received . We want to thank everyone for coming and helping to make it such a successful evening .

Practice meandering towards the center of every place

Sisters Meal Festival-Guizhou, China 1997

These last days before I leave  are always the hardest-a mix between organizing my art, business and life at home, trying to make my bags lighter and focusing on my goals for the trip – how to go deeper – to see with feeling. I have been rereading”The Art of Pilgrimage”, a book I always look at before I leave .

I came across these thoughts and  I am printing them  to read each morning

A good way to begin the day…

The Five Excellent Practices Of Pilgrimages

Practice the arts of attention and listening.
