“Chance favors the prepared mind”

...so grateful for all...

April Flying Carpet 2020

In this time of extremity,
The Flying Carpet

is hovering in place.

 Obsessed with sprouts…
the most local food imaginable
grown in your kitchen hydroponically…
what could be more nutritious?

 Radish Sprouts

 

 

 Sunflower sprouts

 Mung bean sprouts

Alfalfa sprouts

So The Hovering Carpet 

invites you to enjoy

a virtual "sprout collage salad"

and looks forward 

to real meals together.

 My heart goes out to 

everyone who has

suffered loss.

Special thanks to Jacob 

who has been our lifeline.

March Flying Carpet 2020

In March

The Flying Carpet

"Sheltered in Place"

and finished the 

Islands and Coastlines

2019 Japan travel Journal

Please unpack it with me

Packets containing temple stamps

and place stamps

and drawings

and postcards

and a box containing 

Uchiko Candles

Naoshima shells

Next we unwrap the furoshiki

and find an accordion fold book

of photos, quotes, and writings

here are a few pages...

and a book 

of folded memorabilia

and a jumble of gratitude

to everyone

who was a part of

this extraordinary journey

February Flying Carpet 2020

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you

Oaxaca Balloon Ladies

The Balloon Yentas strike again...

How full and luscious!

Hand blown glass balloons 

in Venice

The Flying Carpet 

is nine years old this month!
You can go back 

through all the years
if you choose.

Thank you for flying with me.

January Flying Carpet 2020

In January
The Flying Carpet
wished for 20/20 vision

Janus…
In Greek Mythology
the two faced God
of passageways
 

and transitions

looks to the past
 

and to the present…

So whether your  path 

is full speed ahead

Or somewhat circuitous

Or every which way

The Flying Carpet wishes you
a year of fulfillment.

Dedicated to:
Theo Raven ...

looking to the past

and  Zoe and Dylan ...

looking to the future
