Oh, the ecstasy of the touch!
The Art and Skill of Touch
It is a dance of sorts,
Not simply a caress, but
Possibly an artful intention
Of pleasure for the other,
Certainly moments of meaning,
Skillfully designed and delivered.
It is the elegance of
A well-placed hand,
Followed by the ecstasy of
A well-planned touch.

Touching is so very important. Whether we intend to do so or not, we communicate much more than we realize by our touch. Whether petting our favorite dog or cat, rocking a baby, or hugging our better half, touching is what makes us finer humans. Okay, just in case you are thinking of the current headlines, this is not the Donald Trump kind of touching. We should be smarter than that, and I know we are. skp

Thank you, thank you to all of our visitors at the Open Studios of Beavercreek a few weeks ago! We had record attendance and record sales. The above pictures are at the Patterson art studio stop. Even the constant rains did not keep people away. One cannot deny the call of artistic beauty, whether it is in glass, pottery, jewelry or even books. Art helps us live our lives to the fullest. Why not have beautiful art in every corner or your living space?
Autumn in Oregon...or at least it very well could be.
Happy autumn days to you! Nothing to worry about, much to be happy about. Let us think so. skp
