Headed Home— At Principle Gallery
If you take Greece apart, in the end you will see remaining to you an olive tree, a vineyard and a ship. Which means: with just so much you can put her back together.
–-Odysseus Elytis, The Little Seafarer (1988)
Still feeling way under the weather. It’s lingered for the past 10 or 11 days and I thought it was passing a few days ago. However, it came back with a vengeance yesterday and this morning. Even so, I feel obligated to remind you that my show, Entanglement, will only be hanging for three more days at the Principle Gallery.
I also realized that I had not yet shared the painting shown above, Headed Home. For me, it represents Odysseus’ epic journey and return to Ithaca. I thought a passage from Greek writer, Odysseus Elytis, who won the 1979 Nobel Prize for Literature, was therefore appropriate. It speaks to the resiliency of people to bounce back from great loss. We need to be reminded of that.
Here’s a slideshow from the Entanglement exhibit. which closes after July 7.

How are you doing? I hope you are okay.
Thanks for asking, Lucy. I’ve been fighting some sort of illness over the past couple of weeks but think– and hope– the worst part is now past. Feeling better but still a little woozy at times. Again, thanks for asking. All my best to Jeff and you!–gary
How are you doing today?
Still a bit off and still trying to pinpoint what’s going on but doing a little better. Thanks for asking, Lucy. All my best to you, as always!
Are you feeling any better?
Still battling something, Lucy. It will be a month on Wednesday. We’re still trying to figure out exactly what it is. Expecting some test results in the next few days. It hasn’t stopped me from working though it very slow going. Again, thank you for your concern, Lucy. Much appreciated!
I hope you feel better soon.
Thank you. Me, too!
I hope it is nothing serious.
Me, too!
How are you doing today?
Don’t know if you read yesterday’s post about finally determining that I had a tick-borne illness, anaplasmosis. I am on the third day of the course of prescribed antibiotics and am definitely beginning to feel the positive effects from them. Energy levels rising along with night sweats, headache, and mental fogginess receding. Still a long way to go but it feels like I am finally on the path to recovery. Thanks again for asking, Lucy. All the best to you!–gary
I am glad that you are finally getting better and you know the cause and getting treatment.
For some reason, I wasn’t getting the posts that you were making and I had to resubscribe.
Sorry that happened, Lucy. I had another subscriber relay the same message a few months back. Just some sort of glitch in WordPress, which hosts this blog.
