The Process of Reinvention


On this sunny day I met with my friend Barbara for a walk on the beach. She lives most of the time in Mexico and I hadn’t seen her in over a year. Her creativity flows in several directions: actress, documentary filmmaker, teaching theater and mind/body energy workshops, to name a few. She also has that “bohemian” fire in her.

We talked about our challenges and struggles in life right now. Barbara verbalized some very interesting philosophical insights. To be added to my list of (daily) positive affirmations. Well, her uplifting energy created good karma. Encouraging voicemail and email awaited me back home.

This evening, I ventured to a well hidden treasure, “The Urban Craft Center” on Main Street, for a book signing and art exhibit by Michael de Meng. Love the title of his book, “Dusty Diablos”. De Meng discussed the philosophy of transforming landfill-bound junk into rustic and mysterious works of art. Michael revealed some of the secrets of his unique process of reinvention, as well as the inspiration behind his strange and demented artwork.

Creative approach of reinvention and transformation, the way to go!
