May Flying Carpet 2022

 Who can read the writing
on the wall?
Who can translate the inscrutable?

The mysterious calligraphy 

of ancient characters

The elegance of classic cursive

melodies of medieval scribes

pitbulls customs and ???
mother of pearl finer curios

tar squiggles
train loop-de-loops
cracklings
meanders

and runic patching
carved in stone

the script of time
Who can fathom the meaning?

March Flying Carpet 2022

 In March
The Flying Carpet
rippled through the hyacinth 

scented air…

and inhaled the fragrance of ART
If not now… when????

 

Hitched a ride with 

Tony Abeyta and Jesus
to the Albuquerque Museum

Survival of the fittest…

Indigo-a-go-go
Roland Rickett's crickets

Admired Kim Arthun's 

work table at 208
years and years and years

Shared a can of spinach 

with Popeye and Olive Oil

In Santa Fe
Watched the Native Americans
watching the tourists
at the Palace of the Governors

Almost climbed aboard 

the ghostly luminescence
of Helen Pashgian's space ship
at Site Santa Fe

Shared light through blessings 
at Living Threads
Encountered Anastazia Louise 
working at Form and Concept

repairing the burned cloak

of the Solacii
 
Special thanks to all the artists
and to those who support them

February Flying Carpet 2022

 In February
The Flying Carpet
like many of us
feels the extremes of
up or down
these chaotic days
so let's stare at staircases…


and let's also 
celebrate the courage
of the Ukrainian people

and the extraordinary life of
Maia Sampson Michael
1950-2022
who loved to paint 
Ukrainian Easter Eggs
