Art and Spirit

Hello Everyone,
New York City weather was perfect today. It was nice to see humanity alive and active in the sun. My two mile walk was enjoyable.


Friday the 9th I attended the " Art & Spirit" opening at the KNOX Gallery. They are located at 129 west 129th street. My good Neighbor Nate Ladson work is being shown there until April the 13th. Nate Ladson was born in South Carolina and grew up in the heart of Harlem. Mr. Ladson is largely self-taught. He did attend the Academy of Fine Arts. He has displayed his work in many shows. He was part of the exhibition at the International Center in New York and was one of the main artist in the Martin Luther King Art Show. His work has evolved into an abstract expression. Light is fused with color and direction.

The other artist displayed the same theme of the inner soul in different mediums. I didn't have permission to take photos, but I was glad to sneak a picture of my neighbor's creation. I want to give Nate credit. The years that I have known him, he has maintain a clear focus and continued the inner spiritual struggle to awaken the positive forces within. This effort has polished his life as an artist and empowered his life. I have never known him to be stagnant. I observed his work through the years and his self-mastery is the most positive and creative energy that I have seen in long time. He doesn't have a website as of yet. I will inform you when he does.


As for Lunch I had a good meal today. Marinated Avocado. Carrots & Pecan Burgers with Spouted Wild Rice and Baby Arugula with Pear, Endive, dried tomato salad.


I've been looking for a new sauce to add to my menu. From the "Raw Food for Everyone " book by Alissa Cohen. This texture of the sauce is thinner than the real thing. To make this a thicker spread, place in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
