No matter what happens, her artistic activities/creativity and motivation to produce never stop. Judy’s art originates from nature and the environment. In Venice, there is a bee garden organized by her, and innumerable bees fly around during the Flowers season. Based in Italy, Florida, and New York, her solo exhibition (over 30-years artworks) is being held in Upper Manhattan “STRIDE ART” until April 8.
Also Judy has been a longtime friend of Orin, so she became my friend, too. This feeling always comes first. At the same time I have rediscovered Judy Harvest as a wonderful artist.
For a long time, I was wondering why sewing machine spools (bobbin) and radioactivity marks look similar.
Upon examination, the sewing machine thread was made to match the shape of the bobbin, and the mark of radioactivity was more than that. In 1941, the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory, California, USA (currently Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) invented in its basic design the three leaves protruding from the center. These three leaves represent α- rays, β-rays, and y-rays, respectively, and simply represent how each radiation is emitted from the central nucleus.
You wind the thread to the adorable Japanese children’s song “Itomaki”, but your hands have already been exposed and your skin is sore and red. How long will you continue to wind?
Due to the corona situation in the last few years, No! wait a minute, since June 2018, when we moved to Arizona, then we returned to the east coast again in the fall of 2019. We have settled in Newburgh and I have been spending time with Orin almost every day.
Is the 15-year period (almost 24hours stay together for the last three and a half years) short or just right? We have met each other since we were old, and the momentum of the sparks feelings of our hearts have been replaced by calmness, and Orin is no longer Orin. He is as if my father, mother, twins, best friend, soulmate, and fighting companion, etc. There are many conflicting ideas and opinions between us, so we are giving up on each other now (lol).
We met at a 2007 friend’s art opening. I knew his name because of the common art center, but for some reason I believed that it was converted to “Orin-Osuzu(bell)”, a Japanese female name, Orin must be a female. I didn’t think that the man in front of me is the person I had emailed inquiries several times before, I didn’t write to him Mr. but made it Miss.
Very beginning, I was surprised when I held his hands! !! This is, this is, what I’ve been looking for so many years! !! A mysterious and nostalgic feeling was revived. When I die, I will hold the hand of “someone” and say, “Oh, it was an interesting my life, thank you, let me go.” It was the feel of someone’s palm, the palm of Orin! !!
His tough body will surely recover from the critical condition. Let’s get along well with medicines and treatment, and at the same time strengthening our own self-healing power and immunity without relying on them. Orin, born in Pisces / Uncle / Grandpa / Old man / Dad / Mom, thank you very much for being with me. Here is a video of our hands dancing : https://orinbuck.com/video/hand-dance
Today, which is slightly warm and humid, the 18th anniversary of my beloved mother, Tori-san’s passing. The foggy Hudson River reminds me of “Mysterious Traveler” (a jazz group’s Weather Report album), without any connection. It’s also the day when my favorite Brazilian diva, Elis Regina was born.
Although it snowed before and after March 11th, it was chilly but the weather was fair, like a gift. At this time we had a one-day exhibition at our friend, activist and jazz pianist Trudy’s 5C Cafe & Cultural Center (outside corner due to corona circumstances).
I’m making a photo video right now, so please wait for a while.
Mica who is my long term friend wrote to us that her twin sister Idel made such so fantastic dress! I too know how Idel’s sense of fashion art is great, so Mica’s art & photography sense too. This news made me happy as if it brings spring. Here her email goes;
“hey fam and friends i can’t help being so mad clucky proud of my quietly brilliant little sissy Idel whipping up this complicated eloquent open tulle skirt for her friend chuck’s dance performance in one crazy week !!! yes she is haitian but she sure can be quick when it counts”
２月２８日、おおよそ10:40 am 頃かな？ニューバーグの図書館の窓から澄み渡る青空に、３〜４本のコントレイルの白い線がすっと走っては消える様など眺めていた。飛行機のラッシュアワーかな、などと面白がっていると、まん丸で銀色のかなり大きいものが浮かんでいる、微妙に回転しているのかパラッと陰ったり、同じ場所に消えたり現れたりを繰り返し、程なく消滅した。
The nostalgic name “flying saucer” was been replaced by “UFO / unidentified flying object”, and more recently the name is changing to “UAP”. And if I explain all my experiences so far, I kept thinking that the feeling of UFO is something different, not so, it is out of alignment, and it is an experience in the 3D world; an aerial (paranormal) phenomenon, almost perfectly fits me.
In the olden days, I witnessed a UAP at my parents’ house in Narihira, Sumida-ku, Tokyo (inside the house, It was flying near the ceiling!), also along the Chuo Line, the riverbed of the Tama River, mainly wherever in Tokyo, India and the United States. It was more common during the daytime, and at night, satellites are moving in a fixed orbit, so you can tell immediately, of course it is not “UAP” because it can be confirmed.
February 28th, around 10:40 am(?) from the window of the library in Newburgh, I watched the white lines of three or four contrails running and disappearing in the clear blue sky. When I was amused about the rush hour of an airplane, a round and silvery big thing was floating, it was slightly rotating, it disappeared and appeared in the same place repeatedly, and before I knew it, it disappeared.
