Dia Calhoun: 7:30 BELLS: Nightingale in the Mosque
http://diacalhoun.blogspot.com/2016/11/730-bells-nightingale-in-mosque.html
Eva of the Farm. After the River the Sun. Tuesday, November 29, 2016. 7:30 BELLS: Nightingale in the Mosque. Unless the nightingale sings in the mosque, prayer is of no use." - Marie Louise von Franz. I love this comment von Franz made in her commentary on the fairy tale The Nightingale Gisar. You can find that on page 179 of her book Individuation in Fairy Tales. And, I might add after mosque, the temple, the church, the heart, the Self. I hope to be back with more 7:30 BELLS next week. EVA OF THE FARM.

Dia Calhoun: January 2017
http://diacalhoun.blogspot.com/2017_01_01_archive.html
Eva of the Farm. After the River the Sun. Tuesday, January 10, 2017. 7:30 BELLS: Traffic Jam Bells. Stuck in a traffic jam on the freeway, I inched through the winter night. I didn’t want to be there. I was tired after a long day and just wanted to get home. Where are the bells now? I wondered. Was there any way to feel vibrantly alive in this situation? None of them wanted to be stuck in this traffic jam. They all wanted to be somewhere else. Or did they? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Dia Calhoun: December 2016
http://diacalhoun.blogspot.com/2016_12_01_archive.html
Eva of the Farm. After the River the Sun. Friday, December 23, 2016. The Three Little Trumpigs and The Big Bad Wall. Once upon a dastardly time, three fat little trumpigs ruled a good, green country. But in the world outside, a terrible storm blew. People crept to the country’s border, looking for shelter. The three little trumpigs didn’t like this one bit. Late one night, they tweeted, “Let’s build a big bad wall to keep them out! 8221; So they snortled and chortled and built a wall of lies. 8220;Little...

Dia Calhoun: Incantare Sculpture
http://diacalhoun.blogspot.com/p/sculpture.html
Eva of the Farm. After the River the Sun. In the past three hundred years our western worldview has become too based on rationalistic materialism. With my sculptures—archetypal images from mythology, fairy tales, and my own dreams, made from natural materials—I hope to encourage personal, transformative experiences of mystery. I call this body of work, Incantare Sculpture. Incantare is Italian for enchanted. Came from conversations between my conscious and unconscious minds. And so I did. And so I am.

Dia Calhoun: 7:30 BELLS: The Blur of Morning Becomes Meaning.
http://diacalhoun.blogspot.com/2016/12/730-bells-blur-of-morning-becomes.html
Eva of the Farm. After the River the Sun. Tuesday, December 6, 2016. 7:30 BELLS: The Blur of Morning Becomes Meaning. The blur of morning is ground fog steaming from the fields. The night time dreamworld transitioning into the waking world. With my first cup of coffee or my first step outside, the sun bursts like a bloom through the mist into the rising of the day. And there in my front yard is my path before me. My own path, with all its shadows and its gleaming, to be reckoned with. EVA OF THE FARM.

Dia Calhoun: Stack of Butter, Stack of Books
http://diacalhoun.blogspot.com/2016/11/stack-of-butter-stack-of-books.html
Eva of the Farm. After the River the Sun. Wednesday, November 23, 2016. Stack of Butter, Stack of Books. When I was ten to twelve years old, sometimes I'd go with my Dad to his shop on Capitol Hill in Seattle. I'd hang out there until my ballet lesson at Cornish. He'd give me a dollar, and I'd walk around the corner to a cafe. As soon as the waitress saw me coming, she'd yell back to the cook, "Stack of Butter! Those three beautiful words meant toast. Which with the pumpkin pie? AFTER THE RIVER THE SUN.
