July Flying Carpet 2018

In July the Flying Carpet lent a HAND
and was one of 1,700 volunteers
for the 15th annual
International Folk Art Market
in Santa Fe

The HANDiwork 

of many many artists
and cooperatives 

from 56 countries worldwide
began with artist demonstrations
in supporting businesses downtown
 

and continued 

with the entry parade…
HANDS raised in welcome 

and celebration…
many embraces

At the Market
everyone is dressed to the 10's (!)
especially the Movers and Shakers
 

the Collectors
 

the Shoppers

 and the Artists

wrap it up and take it home!

It was HANDS down 

a fabulous event

June Flying Carpet 2018

In this time of chaos and confusion*

Where you can't tell 

what's real and what's invention**
 

The primordial 

geometry of simplicity
will give a rest 

to the eye and the spirit***

Within the walls of the tea room
there is a moment
of orchestrated 

awareness and harmony**** 

The silent pause
before serving sencha tea
stops the swirling world*****

 Concentration on the perfection
of creation
helps us regain perspective******

Laughing with those we love
and empathy 

for the broken hearted
brings equilibrium******
