This post is brought to you by my cousin Santana….in her woodland fairy wear. My Aunt Celeste has been visiting for a week, the first time without my mom, and its been bittersweet.
Have a wonderful evening…this is an open thread.

The Sky Dancing banner headline uses a snippet from a work by artist Tashi Mannox called 'Rainbow Study'. The work is described as a" study of typical Tibetan rainbow clouds, that feature in Thanka painting, temple decoration and silk brocades". dakinikat was immediately drawn to the image when trying to find stylized Tibetan Clouds to represent Sky Dancing. It is probably because Tashi's practice is similar to her own. His updated take on the clouds that fill the collection of traditional thankas is quite special.
You can find his work at his website by clicking on his logo below. He is also a calligraphy artist that uses important vajrayana syllables. We encourage you to visit his on line studio.

Those unwanted Ivanka tweets are hilarious!
Love the photo of your cousin as a woodland faerie!
A day late for Caturday.
This is very true – I’ve had cats my whole long adult life (have 5 now). My Himalayan was very different in that he never fought with the other cats – he was very accommodating of the rescues I would bring in. This is apparently a characteristic associated with Persians and related breeds like Himalayans. He was a sweetheart…. RIP ❤
We buried my uncle this weekend. On what would have been his 81st birthday.
He was the first person I consciously remember wanting to be like.
He was kind and generous and brilliant and stylish and sophisticated and talented and funny.
When I was little I thought he was the smartest man in the world.
He was also gay. His birthday fell on the same day as the pride parade.
His partner was there.
I am not sure how long they were together but it was longer than I have been alive.
It was a beautiful day, and I don’t mean the weather.
What a wonderful tribute to what certainly was a wonderful man. It sounds like he had a full life with folks that loved and supported him. May his memory be a blessing! XoXO
Thank you.
Condolences, Ron. He sounds like a wonderful man. It could not have been easy for him but it sounds like he lived his life with a lot of dignity.
We lost my oldest aunt last week and her funeral is tomorrow. She was 92. She lived through the Depression, WWII and the loss of her oldest son. She was very kind and selfless.
RIP ❤
My sympathy to you, Enheduanna. Gentle hugs.
He sounds like a wonderful man, Ron. I’d say you take after him.
I wish I were more like him. He was one of the original Freedom Riders. He actually DID march with Dr King. He spoke French, Germany, Spanish and Russian and served in Germany in the 60’s. I makes me smile to even think of him.
Thanks for all your kind words.
Listening to your love for your uncle makes me realize why the good die young. They shouldn’t go so soon!
Gentle hugs for you Ron. Your uncle sounds a wonderful man — no wonder he was a role model for you. May his memory be for a blessing.
