Over 55 people attended the conversation, which was followed by the opening of Ms. Bourke's installation piece "Requiem for Being," which is based on the same theme. An observation hive was loaned by John Barker for the day so that guests could see the activity that goes on inside a hive of honey bees. The installation will be in the Marie Louise Trichet Gallery until September 7. Gallery hours are Monday - Saturday 10 am - 4 pm.

Wounded Beyond Repair
An 80 year old tree at Wisdom House had to be taken down
due to its decayed interior.
I've learned that tree wounds that start with an injury
or a break in the tree bark expose the underlying wood to bacteria and
fungi. The tree often produces a
chemical to block the invasion of these microorganisms in an attempt to seal off
damage, but this is not always successful.
Blessed be our trees and all living beings who live with wounds and bear them with courage.
