The Gong as Hot Springs National Park's Artist in Residence
In late Summer 2016, The Gong and I were selected as one of Hot Springs National Park's Artists in Residence during the Centennial Year of the National Park Service. During our tenure, The Gong and I joyfully gave numerous inspiring programs, other Gifts of Service within The Gong's larger Mission, and indulged my Love of Sidewalk Gong~!
I am deeply grateful for this unique Service opportunity...to expand the field of possibility and accessibility to The Gong, to inspire connections between Inner and Outer Resources and foster enduring stewardship of this extraordinary Planet... and for the incredible experiences that unfolded in the process. Special people, places and events Blessed us while serving Hot Springs National Park...and continue to do so.
"When it's over, I want to say all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom, taking the world into its arms. When it's over, I don't want to wonder if I've made my life of something particular, and real. I don't want to find myself sighing or frightened, or full of argument. I don't want to end up having simply visited this world."~Mary Oliver
