Speak, dont type whats important

I am reminded that the typed word, via text, email, and blog does not transmit the full content of an experience or thought.  The emotion and intent can be lost or exaggerated.    It is fine for data/information transmission.  On several occasions I have found my purpose misinterpreted, only to have it appear to bite me in the .... well you know.  I must remember to not type when there is strong concern or emotion behind a situation.  For me it is much better worked out in person or on the phone.

Face to face we receive so much more information in body language and facial expression.  In text we get nada and the recipient is left to their own imagination.  Often going to the worst case senario when that was unnecessary and unfounded. 

We humans are an interesting lot!  All is fine.

Just breathe........

RISD New Materials Fashion Show






Fashion, music and saving the planet through recycling.  Here at her fashion show at RISD is IM's first design using recylced materials.  I probably played that skirt, I mean music, on the piano 25 years ago, and the albums that form the blouse, (term used lightly) filled my ears in the 70s.  Now they are a creative idea, a final product in a new materials class in fashion design.  Congratulations.   .....  Things we least expect.
