Born in Massachusetts in 1933, [Dorothy] Iannone always had spiritual inclinations. She was raised Catholic, but eventually came into conflict with her childhood tradition because she could not understand the church's shunning of erotic love. Primed by the haikus of R. H. Blyth during her 1962 stay in Kyoto, Japan, Iannone received a formal introduction to the dharma through a close artist friend who had been a student of Dudjom Rinpoche. Buddhism became a permanent fixture in her life after she attended a retreat in Cornwall with Sogyal Rinpoche in 1985. In the interview, Iannone speaks about the influence of the dharma on her work, the spiritual journey involved, and, as she approaches 80, her thoughts on death and dying. [link]

Passing on Your Collection to Another Generation

By Ernest Disney-Britton Our living room in downtown Indianapolis This house (in Indiana) allowed us to explore everything, but today is moving day! It was a maximalist experience for two minimalists who love to collect. We sold off multiple collections, including snow globes, Mary sculptures, paperweights, Disney plates, nutcrackers, 21c penguins, walking canes, and 100 prints and paintings! Most of it was in storage, but plenty was on display. We did it by inviting our community of artists and collectors to an estate sale before opening it to the public. Congratulations to the new owners. We hope your collections continue to grow. Goodbye, Indiana!

THE GLEANER | JAMAICA, WI By Rev. Clinton Chisholm Naked Jesus credited by many to Michelangelo | Courtesy of Wikipedia WISCONSIN - Our Lord Jesus Christ was, in all likelihood, naked on the cross. Christian art and the Church will not face it readily, so you won't see crucifixion pictures of Jesus with exposed penis, though in all likelihood, following Roman custom, he would have been crucified naked.
