Hare Krishna people, chanting in downtown Denver, Colorado |
Life is seldom what we expect. For instance, I packed my artwork
in my van and drove for one day to arrive in Denver, Colorado for an
art festival. Typically, I make good money selling paintings. This
time, the morning of setup it was raining, and although it stopped by
the time the festival began at 4 PM Friday, it was drizzling on and
off. This is an outdoor event and I had two tents. The first evening I made good contacts for possible large sales. The next day was miserable with cool air
and torrential rain that became hail. Parts of the field became flooded, and my booth as well. More bad weather is forecast and the art buyers are absent.
I am leaving at day break to pack up and depart early Sunday. My hopes and
expectations were rained upon, and I lost money not to mention my time invested.
After I shut my booth mid-afternoon Saturday, I went back to the hotel, and
then the sun came out for a little while. A big rock music festival raged
downtown, and I mingled in the crowds, people watching, taking
photos, and feeling joy while realizing how easy it is to be happy
when I lose barriers and become one with the world. I love the
streets of the planet, where I witness and record the parade of
humanity.
I pay my dues being an artist, but I am addicted to the life.
