  1. I've come to this a little late, but just wanted to say how much I am enjoying "the show". It's a terrific body of work, of which you should be very proud. Congratulations!

  2. Gotta say, gal, 'bout time you put these copyright notices ("I am Rhonda, therefore I AM") on your photos. For some reason the Soviet nations [and others, of course] seem to stop by endlessly and pilfer ... always good to have ones name ride along with the merchandise. There will be a *well beaten path* for these, I'm sure.

    You ROCK!
    [do you get dizzy from all the rocking???]

  4. This is a very interesting post... I have never heard of books being placed on pathways.. very thought provoking-- so many metaphors -- for books and journeys.

    1. It has been my hope that those with an awareness of Zen (like yourself) would be able to connect with what I'm doing..... it probably won't surprise you to learn that I read a lot of philosophical tomes throughout my MFA - many of which had Zen leanings...
