In July the Flying Carpet travelled around the world by staying home.
Folk Art Market in Santa Fe
is a yearly festive gathering of crafts people
from all over the world
sponsored by The Museum of International Folk Art.

IMAGINE careening through booths of handmade treasures
What a paradise for a carpet.
IMAGINE a world of feet
stomping, dancing, jingling, and undulating
across your surface!
...and seeing faces like this!
IMAGINE carrying a vintage globe through the market
and asking artists from all different countries
to write LOVE in their language on transparent hearts.
Then IMAGINE affixing each heart to its country
while IMAGINING a world with no boundaries
and people speaking the language of love.
(The carpet occasionally flashes on the sixties.)
Then IMAGINE the next week
rising, swirling, and whirling
with the Flying Men of Vera Cruz
suspended from their 60 foot pole
at Rancho de las Golandrinas.
IMAGINE a wildest dream becoming real.
Special thanks to John Lennon
and the hundreds of people
who contribute
creative energy, time, money, love
and IMAGINATION
to Folk Art Market.
