zuzu doing yoga with me this morning . .
marisa sent a video of the birds chattering about her place . . if you watch to the end you'll be able to see a hairy woodpecker at her feeder.
this evening greg and i had a free performance to attend at st. luke in the fields. it was a "work out" from new york theatre workshop, created by kristina wong (actor, comedian and performance artist).
she took us through all the emergency food distribution programs, when they were created and why they were created and how to be eligible (why are there so many hungry americans?). having experienced food insecurity and also having worked in the system, she had many interesting things to say about it in a fun and dynamic way. the audience learned the history of food distribution in the states thoughtfully and humorously (there was audience participation via karaoke!) and she had so much energy that she held our attention unwaveringly. it was a fun and thought provoking night. we all gave her a standing ovation at the end while also singing along.
it was the last performance and the canned and packaged food that made up the set was distributed to the audience.
above is a cartoon that i read this morning that felt apropos.
