UNICORNS in the RAD /
As an artist and photographer, I cherish the moments that allow me to infuse my work with a piece of myself and connect with those drawn to it. Recently, a chance encounter with a beautiful black family outside my studio brought me an unexpected and much-needed source of joy.
At that moment, I was reminded of the wise words of Joseph Pearson, who encouraged me to "be myself" and to put my whole self into my work. It was a feeling that came naturally as I stepped outside for some sunlight and noticed the family passing by.
As fate would have it, I had just decided to display a piece of art that I typically keep hidden, featuring Biggie Smalls. Despite the potential for different interpretations by different cultures, I felt a strong urge to share it with this family.
And as luck would have it, the family turned the corner and noticed the piece and their pure joy and excitement were exactly what my soul needed in that moment. It was a meaningful connection that I crave and one that reminded me of the power of art to bridge gaps and bring people together. I told them how I saw them and put the piece out there and we all laughed at how timing and fate work well together.
So, to the universe, I say thank you for sending the Unicorns of the RAD my way. Their visit was truly magical and much needed, and I am grateful for the reminder always to be myself and to put my whole self into my work.

You know.
I find it oddly intriguing that I slowed down then. Ripping the cloth of on my brain as if it has rested for so long. I collect bumps and bruises along the way, trudging, remembering what I never forgot. `I so often think the SECRET to life is just understanding that time is a teacher as well. My best teacher.
