Audrey Bechler's Paintings: Functions at Ya Po Ah, etc.

carnival outfits

There are many events that the residents of Ya Po Ah organize for all that want to attend or participate in. Except for when I am with Chris all my socializing is with the people here at Ya Po Ah Every two months there is a birthday party in the dining entertainment area and last Friday was a Carnival birthday party. There were games and I had the face painting table. This was my first time at face painting and I did have a few faces and arms to practice on. All of us in charge of games were dressed up in costumes After the games everyone enjoyed ice cream sundaes. I never dreamed I would be living in a situation like this. It is perfect for me and I have met interesting and like minded people, Back in Maine I loved Back Cove and everything I needed was there now it is the same, my surroundings are beautiful and I can ride my bike or walk to everything I need.

I do spend too much time on the computer. It is so easy to look up anything I want to know about and I listen to talks on you tube. The news I get from listening to Democracy Now or PBS. The world seems to be in a state of madness but I believe underneath or behind the scenes great things are being invented and the green movement is coming into being and it will happen as soon as the greedy ones die off or change their course. It is great to see the young people become active on gun control. They are fighting against money and power, two steps forward, one step back,.If you want to see what we are moving toward look up biomimicry, the bioneers and levitation inventions.There is lots of info on you tube. Keep the thoughts positive.

I also want to express my thoughts on the gender issues. I believe humanity is coming to a male female balance. The male power, aggression, dominance has been going on for thousands of years. The power over women has been their natural way, so now it is pointed out to men this is not acceptable behavior. and to treat all living things with respect. Many famous people have been abusive but should they be condemned for everything , when they have produced great art or great whatever. Are we going to say Kennedy was not a good President, should we destroy Picasso’s paintings. There are a lot of nasty people that have done great things, and I don’t condone their moral behavior, Morals again are different in other times and cultures..Should statues and buildings be destroyed now, because when they were made , years ago , it was a different time, beliefs were different. Human for all their failures and faults are remarkable beings that have created great civilizations, great art, great thinkers, inventors, etc. I am in awe at what humans have accomplished. This is the age of technology, other civilizations were great for things we can’t figure out how they did what they did. We are not better, Everything happens when it should whatever time, past or future. Everything is alive and all life is amazing. We are living in a time of great change and I find it very exciting, because I believe we are moving toward a wonderful age of peace and harmony.
