Diaphanous Steel
Steel figures became diaphanous as I pushed my bicycle past the Physics and Nanotechnology Building at the University of Minnesota.
Impermanent Wind
On my way to pick up meds at Walgreens, dismounted at the Central Library for Taiko drumming. A guy used a calligraphy brush to interpret the piece, “Impermanent Wind.” The drumming and my meds speak to my own impermanence, and that’s OK. Mono no aware.
LGBTQ Composers
Celebrated Pride and LGBTQ composers with the Minnesota Orchestra.
Banned Television
Mr. Ratburn walks up the aisle with his husband-to-be, Patrick the aardvark. Finally I found daytime television worth watching, but not in Alabama where the episode is banned.
Baggage Claims
Walked to the Weisman Art Museum to explore the movement of people and belongings across the world: “Baggage Claims.”
Cyrano de Bergerac
Enjoyed a pre-show drink at the Guthrie before exploring inner beauty, Cyrano de Bergerac.
All My Relations Gallery
Visited All My Relations Gallery to see an exhibition honoring missing and murdered Native American women. While a missing white woman can get saturation coverage, these women usually go unreported in our media.
The Tale of Genji
Viewed depictions of “The Tale of Genji,” the world’s first novel, at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. It was written by a woman, Murasaki Shikibu, over 1,000 years ago in Kyoto, Japan. Themes stand the test of time, including love, lust, and the disempowerment of women.
Orchestra Hall Reflections
Walked to Orchestra Hall to listen to the Minnesota Orchestra. Downtown merged with reflections of the lobby.
