There were a number of artists ,maybe a 100 or more, who were drawing some immensely beautiful crayons on a newly metalled black road. The artists were clearly very creative people as they went about their work in all seriousness. Professional artists had come from all over the US and we could see that they were really talented men and women who were creating immensely beautiful pictures .Although some of the pictures were large in size, the artists were very precise about their coloring schemes. It was surprising as to how they could bring about the various shades of colours in the pictures merely using colored crayons. Some of them really looked like huge colour photographs.
The Art Festival which started today will end tomorrow. We went to see how the artists begin their work and we plan to come back again tomorrow to see as to how they finish their work. Added to that, there was music and festivity in the air. There were two rock bands playing some excellent music and there were a number outdoor snacks stalls. Entry was free.
From the Italian Street Painting Festival we went to Betty's place in Petaluma for Barbeque. We all sat outside in the garden and the food was grilled in an outdoor grill on charcoal. We had Tofu hot dogs(vegan), some excellent potato salad without eggs and fudge pudding. Betty's neighbor Mike joined us. We had a homely dinner as though long lost friends had gathered again!
15th Jun (Sun) happened to be "Father's day - when children remembers their fathers with gratitude. Stephanie and Sai were no exception. They got a beautiful I-pod video nano for me (4 gigs). This was one item which I had been planning to have for quite some time. My son read my thoughts as it were. They also gave me a beautiful and touching card. Sweet couple indeed.
We went back to the Italian Street Festival once again .A majority of the artists had completed their pictures and were they gorgeous and beautiful. We also had some Italian pasta and pizza and enjoyed the music produced by an orchestra in which a lady has been playing the saxophone for the past 15 years in this Festival. Check out the video below of a group of people working on one painting.
Sai went to Los Angeles on some official work overnight. Went to Tiburon water front on 19 Jun (Thurs) evening and enjoyed ourselves. Went to a Chinese restaurant "Dynasty" and had Chinese food .Not very impressive. Although hot in the afternoon, became chilly in the night.
Lovely walk in the morning hours. Resolved to concentrate on developing the firm conviction that I am the Divine and also resolved to maintain good health so as to reach my goal of staying immersed in my own Divinity. During meditation felt as though I were part of the Sun, the Moon, the stars, and the galaxies .Was only semiconscious of the body and was in total Bliss. Sat Chith- Ananda, Existence Awareness - Bliss.
