Joy flutters around us

Another reminder of JoyDay.  
Chalk drawings, as you know I love, are a constant source of JOY.  
Don't just walk by them or on them without taking a note of them. 
Shift how you see the world.

Inner City Community Gardens

This article appeared in the first page turning Shiftazine.  It is  such a cool topic that I thought I should run it here just in case you sadly missed Issue No.1.  When I first came across this particular garden I was so struck by the degree of the care and tremendous effort that had been invested in it.  Within days I found another garden and then another. And it is all the doing of the local people of the area,  no councils involvement, no big business, just individuals working for a greater good.  So now go find a local community garden, but better still, become a part of one or even better, start one! 

It's all mutable

What does the word mutable really mean.  
Well, by the dictionary's definition it means 'to change', shifting, but it also means a sense of the fluid, ideas coming and going. 
So that's a good thing, right, because there is always a new approach, a new response, 
a new thought, a new drawing...The street, whatever street you walk down, big or small,
 urban or suburban is full of art.  Someone has felt the need to express themselves.  To say 'I have something to say!' 
Every surface is a canvas.
