joy acts like a trampoline, everything that touches it bouncing right back off it. – mariella frostrup
festifools brings students and community volunteers together to create
unique public art that is free and accessible to everyone by making
huge-mongous papier-mâché puppets and marching them down main
street in ann arbor in a experience that embraces and celebrates
the joy of community and uninhibited fun.
and everyone
is playing
and sharing
and finding magic
and in no time at all
the entire community
is in the street dancing
having become
a part of the parade
and the joy
is infectious
and
impossible to resist
—
if you wait for inspiration you’ll be standing on the corner after the parade is a mile down the street.

“is the spring coming?” he said.
“what is it like?”…

and the rain falling on the sunshine…”

when holidays collide.
happy chinese lunar new year 2015
apparently
there is some controversy.
is this
the year of
the sheep,
the ram,
or
the goat?
opinions differ
but
everyone agrees
on one thing
it’s a horned animal
of some sort
and
it
looks like
these two
either
started early
or
wandered in
from an
extended
mardi gras
celebration.

flamin’ fat tuesday.
today is a day of celebration
mardi gras
fat tuesday
and
new orleans
is
in full swing
in keeping with
the spirit
of the holiday
i
shall celebrate
with
a bag of
flamin’ hot cheetos
and stay up
one hour late.

it has been said that a scotchman has not seen the world until he has seen edinburgh; and I think that I may say that an american has not seen the united states until he has seen mardi-gras in new orleans.

to be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring. ~george santayana
once in a while
there are those perfect days
when holidays collide
today is one such day
groundhog’s day
and
an official snow day from school
a surprise gift from the universe
and i will celebrate both
“today is “ground-hog’s day” in many parts of the united states,
and candlemas day in many other parts of the world.
from time immemorial,
it has been a critical day in the affairs of the weather.
the character of the second of february is
really of much more importance
than whether the first of march comes in like a lion or a lamb.”
the simplest form of the adage is:—
if candlemas day be bright and clear,
there’ll be two winters in that year.
~hartford courant, 1877
