It is so strange to be mourning so many things as spring moves into summer. It isn’t just a time where the City of Los Angeles experienced the first fatal shooting of one of its bus drivers, Alan Thomas, we lost Barry Gibb and Donna Summer and have heard the story of the inhuman massacre in Syria. Through all this my friend's four year old daughter starred in a production of Peter Pan, and if I have to be honest it is not one of my favorite musicals, however when sung by a group of adorable 4-5 year olds the events of these weeks brought a new perspective to “What Happens When You Grow Up?” about the boy who never wants to grow up.

A great reminder of the origins of life and divine design and vision. The Metropolitan Museum of Art opened an exhibition that compares the designers Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada called Impossible Conversations . The evolution of beauty exists in the process and ancestral history of experience allowing source to flow through materials.
