Cloud Quakers got a tour of Cloud Quaker pop art tonight, that went back beyond our birthday week (in January) and back into the fall, a picture every week. On the pop art front, I explained, if you are a Quaker pop artist, you have a niche - there aren't many of us. I crank them out. I am trying to make more original pictures, fewer of the ones where someone else actually took the picture. I am not selling them, as I sometimes explain, since I don't really own them.
Over ten people came to the Cloud Quaker meeting tonight. Some did not use their camera, and some did not really speak. Most contributed and shared who they were, and where. Illinois, Texas, South Carolina, Mississippi, Northwest Territory and Saskatchewan (Canada) and California were all represented; a few more were, as well. We shared our concerns about sheltering in place. A lot of us are sheltering in place.
One Quaker concern is related to abused children. The courts are closed; kids are home from school; parents are under a lot of stress. Not all parents are taking care of their children with the gentle but firm loving hand that would produce the best result. Children often look to school as their one sane place; now some of them have lost that.
We send out a prayer for those children, and for others devastated by the health crisis.
