I attended an art exhibition downtown friday evening.  Vacant buildings were full of chatter and vibrant works of creative expression.  Outside there was music and hula hooping.

Today, I was able to be one among a community of artists.  Neighborhood residents gathered at their garden and we painted a mural on the wall.  Everyone brought a home cooked meal to share.  A nice woman from mexico slowly went through each dish with me, sweetly explaining all the ingredients.  It was delightful. 

I do believe art is best when shared.
