How do you balance work and home life?
I balance work and home life
As a normality of being,
As bees
Who collect nectar
Or as opossum scans
For food from our hardy green lawn.
I write essays while cleaning dishes
Or edit my documentary
Between petting kitties,
At home and in the world.
I teach from within my soul
And create art
In my office,
Where outside shines
A praying mantis tree
With purple anarchy flowers!
Do you remember those art films you watched in class in elementary school. They got me to wondering just like a mystery or scary film. So, I decided to engage those memories with my own art mineral film.
Youngest son had to go study minerals and gems … a fun day at the LA Museum but both the LA Memorial Coliseum and Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County are surrounded by poverty and such a treacherous drive to get there.
The duality of life is witnessed! Many older women wait at the bus stop, as fast cars cut corners in the pursuit of oblivion? Strange dark corners in old broken apartments hold desperation or reflection as I see!
In return the big rich donors to the museum are great, as the surrounding community lacks such concern!
Happy unaware children and babies and a history of preservation even on a hooked tip of a once weaponized airplane!
