I went back later, alone, as mauve twilight made it a completely different experience. And took time to watch the video of a gentle, engaging artist.
I was saddened this morning to read this.
My voice is a sunflower seed against the Chinese authorities.
Many years ago I visited China. It was barely a decade since the Cultural Revolution.
One evening another quiet, gentle man fulfilled his promise to meet a small group of us to talk about his experiences.
He asked us to be discreet as he was frightened.
I was privileged to be there and I have never forgotten.

How frequently we take our freedom for granted here in America. We must never forget others are not do blessed.
Thank you for stopping by and entering our giveaway. I wish you luck and a beautiful week!

Excellent post. I saw an interview with WeiWei - I think it was on The Culture Show and found him a fascinating man. I thought the construction of the sunflower seeds was wonderful, too. Sad news.
