Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

Indoor Soccer anyone?

 A recently painted mural...I wondered why I hadn't noticed it before!

I don't know the last time the Grey Eagle Arena was used. The artist of this mural is Asheville resident, @ianthepainter, Ian Wilkinson.

I pass it when going to the Community Gardens. Of course I am not visiting on Saturdays, when there might be some indoor soccer happening.


Today's quote:

Compassionate action starts with seeing yourself when you start to make yourself right and when you start to make yourself wrong. At that point you could just contemplate the fact that there is a larger alternative to either of those, a more tender, shaky kind of place where you could live.

      Yes, he did capture it well! We have lots of places named after a Grey Eagle around here...which probably wouldn't be a bald eagle...but don't tell anybody!

    That is a beautiful mural. Reminds me how much I missing seeing eagles. We don't have them here this close to the coast, but we used to see them when we lived in the Sierra foothills. Beautiful, awesome birds.

      They are especially wonderful to see as they fly over, and suddenly we know how very large they are, and think how their vision is many times better than our own!
