Linen to Die For
Thanks, Joe! Bummer...they must have gotten quite a rush on their stock when they advertised in MTJ. Yes, wouldn't it be great if they had an exibit in a Massage and Spa trade show? I actually wrote to them suggesting it...would be nice to touch the sheets and see how they feel.Curious, thanks for your interest, sorry that icon isn't a little more clear. Its a work from Ingres, incorporating a couple motifs significant in my life. Here's a slight enlargement; I'm afraid its not much better, but could help to explain?
Its an angel, arms resting on a harp. There's a hand descending from the upper left corner, seeming to comfort. Isn't that what we mean to do for all? Personally, the angel reminds me of a blessing from a wonderful lady, who closed her eyes and with the most placid smile, said the massage made her feel "like she had dropped into the arms of an angel."Angels, then, aren't we?
The Harp, a funny realization:I was massaging a musician, a member of Weird Al Yankovich's band. (Awesome, fun people). He told me he needed a deep vigorous massage before going on seforum.xxxe. I was trying to accomodate, but going along a la Enya speed. (This was my first celebrity band encounter, and I have to admit I was feeling a little shy)He had to urge, "Deeper!" ย "Faster!"The room where I worked was just behind the seforum.xxxe. You could hear the crowd whistling and applauding, a sign that the curtains had opened. I don't remember which band was the opener, but suddenly the whole room vibrated with wild, intricately scaled energy, from the floor up. My hands came alive! *lol* possessed by the soul of the music! They glided, dug and flew with a life of their own.He yelled, "Yeah!!! YEAH!!! That's it!! That's IT!!"I was almost laughing! When he got off the table, he thanked me...said every nerve and sinew felt ALIVE.It made me think...we are musicians of a sort. The nervous system... our most delicate harp?And this board...the helpful hand...for the harpists that gather here. That is what we try to do for one another.
