12/8/12 - Shopped at the local Mexican supermarket
a supreme experience
sights, sounds, smells
a colorful fiesta time
feels like i'm at a party!

Investigating vegetables and fruits
i've never seen nor heard of before.
oh so curious about
preparing and eating cactus
perhaps one of these days
i'll try it.

Lunch at a mexican cafe
veggie enchilada
YUM!
Never was a fan of mexican food in the east
I sure am here in the southwest!


 ~ TO TOP OFF THE DAY ~
3 hr. bicycle tour
 Hostel mates - Akiko, Gwenael and bicycle tour hosts: Kate & Todd

Our tour took us through the downtown Phoenix art district which 10 years ago was the hood.  The streets and alleyways are alive with a growing number of art murals/graffiti - the vision and voice of the people responding to political and civic issues.  Lots of activist energy happening here for changing times! My perspective is that Phoenix is a living example of folks coming together to create change through the power of healing/transformational art.



Thank you Kate & Todd for this fun and insightful bicycle tour.  Your combined passions for unifying people and place through your positive presence and contributing leadership for sustainable living and justice is step by step creating change.  I wholeheartedly believe that reawakening and cultivating the Renaissance Arts is Earth's new backbone for the Highest Good of the Web of life.

Our last stop on our bicycle tour was AWESOME!  In the midst of the business district suspended in the air is the below art installation.  This art piece is entitled 'She Who Learns Patience.'  While studying this piece, I began to see that its form reminds me of a combination spider's web and spiral of life. Just as spider weaves thread by thread, and just as the spiral of life ebbs and flows inwardly and outwardly, we are the dawn of a new creation. Step by step the changes that are required to return Earth to its rightful, original intent of Peace, Balance, and Justice for All is reawakening. This piece surely does speak to me of the patience required in living the artful mystery of transformation.
