Great way to end the month
I submitted three of my photographs to the Virginia Artists 2017 all-media juried exhibition (the juror is Leigh Anne Chambers of Rawls Museum Arts) at the Charles H. Taylor Art Center in Hampton, Virginia www.hamptonarts.net/the-charle…
This year, 247 artists submitted 661 art works for consideration. I received notification on 30 June that my photograph prisoner of truth was one of 103 art works selected for the show.
The exhibition runs from 20 August through 08 October.
Know Your Place
According to the Cambridge Dictionary, to know your place is "to accept your position within society, an organization, your family, etc. and to not want to improve it." This kind of acceptance is a convenience for those who would have you be satisfied with less than what you want, desire and deserve out of life.
After a few years of living and learning (sometimes the hard way), I feel I know my place, but it is not with acceptance of my "position" nor is it with a lack of desire to improve it.
I know who and what I want and love, and I seek nothing more than a comfortable existence with all. I have no desire to be a part of the status quo
Peace on Earth, Good Will Towards All
This year, more than any other year in my lifetime, has been a time of reflection, of change, of being a witness to the horrors of existence and the power of love.
For those who have suffered, who are on the edge, unsure, reeling from the day-to-day, my heart goes out to you, encouraging you to hang on and make your way forward. :heart:
For those who are indirectly on this journey with me, in whatever capacity, you have my great appreciation and sympathy. ;)
You who are with me in heart, mind and spirit, our moments have only begun. :hug: ~snuggleplz (https://www.deviantart.com/snuggleplz) :huggle:
And for those who are misguided and intent on death and destruction,
fasten your seat belts
Adjusting to this fall's time change was bad enough... but it looks like the good ole days are back in style... be vigilant, hope for the best and be prepared for the worst.
Betty, tell it like it is...
