Maggie's Day 336 of Discovering Love in Putting Myself on Display

A storm ripped through town today but didn’t quite wreck havoc where I was. Sirens blared. Rain pounded. When the sun came out I thought I better head downtown to The Green Building to check on my sculpture that has been joyfully sitting in the parking lot.

The sculpture is a self-portrait that moves around on a whim just as I do. It resembles me in a lot of other ways as well.

As I pulled into the lot my poor little sculpture was broken most likely from the beating it sustained by the hard wind pounding it against the asphalt. Limp and wet soaking in saw dust that looked more like manure than fine shreds of wood I knew the exhibition time had come to an end.



My sculpture needed a rest. Back to my studio for a little drying out time and some repair work was definitely the next order of business.

So, I disassembled the sculpture, put the parts in my car and shoveled the sawdust just as though it was manure. I looked at the space where my rendition of me once stood. Then I smiled because I knew my little me had brought a lot of smiles to a lot of faces.

It isn’t easy putting yourself on display, showing who you are to the world so that it can critique you with or without the skills to do it professionally, tactfully, with honor. But I do it anyway. Every day I show up and I display what I make for the world to see it. Then I smile knowing I did something.

Action is always better than inaction. I am one busy woman.

Sweet Dreams to you and all those who shine their souls on the world! Maggie ã
