I see it as I'm sending my friends off on a journey, they're going to a new home. I pack them well so they can arrive safely. But I have also used a courier for bigger works, who is marvelous. My brother, Duel, has a new show coming up this June 7th-25th at Lindberg Gallery, 48 Cambridge St Collingwood Tues-Sat 11am - 6pm I went to his last show, it was great. I've got a show at present at Gallery 15, 15 William St in Melb its M-F 8am-6pm and runs until June 5th. I have 38 works there! reckon you'd find it a buzz. it's really fab to walk about among art art works are like different worlds or maybe doors, keys to different worlds. :-) Yes, you surely have the makings of a small gallery there!

Every one of your wonderful paintings arrived (as you know I have fourteen of them)in pristine condition.I doubt that I could do such a good job of it myself. In fact I'm certain of it. Heck , I have trouble enough putting stuff in my trolley at the supermarket. I invariably end up with my bread out of shape, or my tomatoes squashed, through incorrect packing .

I heard two interviews on this site called foggyrock which is near me here in Maine. I have been voraciously searching for more on autism as i believe I have been undiagnosed most of my life (maybe aspergers). I have fallen through a lot of cracks, and muddled my way through a lot of things. But when I hear diagnosed autistic people talk or otherwise communicate about their condition, their lives, it hits a target in me, and i say "yes". I recall some writing or speaking you had done about place settings when you were young and how you were blind to anything on the left or right of the place setting, whatever...old words with new meaning, like meaning blind ....language blind... I am hoping to meet with other people here in Maine soon to find some leads on understanding who i am, how i can be more social and feel good about social interaction. One gut feeling I have is the importance of the contribution those with autism, on the spectrum, have to give or can make, and how annoying some of the language neurotypical people use to talk about autistic people - like there is something WRONG with autistic people and they need to work really hard to change. Yes, there is some change that needs to happen, but it is so gloomy to hear some of their approaches. It really means a lot to here you speak from experience, and it rings true, perfect pitch, because it comes from the heart, .....from another planet, or from a cat in a dog world (I don't really like animals, or cats for that matter...anyway), or from a stranger in a strange land....but it is alright I am very literal , and i don't always say the right thing (do I ever say the right thing?). But lately, hearing some other podcasts on my commute to work, and reading about the types of learning, and other pieces on autism, I can see things a little better and feel better about myself. The subjects are so far from the social interactions of colleagues, not that they would be autism unfriendly, but... Don't give up going right up to the counter and posting things. Hello Donna,

And then the rest of the world? Such tolerance.....and not just mere tolerance, I feel he genuinely enjoys your presence, doozies or none, in his post office. I'm sure your presence makes his job less boring somehow, just through "simply being." I can't say how, other than what I did say.
