Orlando, June 12, 2016

Though away from home for the month of May, I returned in June for twelve uninterrupted days of work on two commissioned pieces.  The morning of June 12th changed everything in Orlando.  The Pulse tragedy brought the city to a stunned silence and utter sense of loss.  In addition to the acute awareness of violence against the LGBTQ community, there was also a real feeling of community, however, of everyone reaching beyond lables and separateness to a true feeling of everyone belonging to everyone else.  Something new and good.
