Not having much experience with Crock Pots, however, I ran into the issue of not being able to cook the pasta at the gallery. Instead, I cooked it at my gracious host, Sarah Blyth-Stephens's house.

So, to remind my alphabet soup friends that I love them all the time, I attached jade stones to the bottoms of the bowls that the pasta is in.<br />Green is also generally associated with the heart chakra-- which explains my choice of bowls for my almost-loved pasta letters.<br />Another gem relating the heart is rose quartz.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeycy2HfPXpyQMUEqXAdbXBitI9OppzjqtF1p6TbcBBc8yoC4ZXBwyqeTpDk8BVPRjR1o_qzo53Ntfa0_56lzwayRf3qRRqVSsOFhZKX8SyTGOZ6YWhzAzwYWyrgoyB5ZwmGohZLMemRs/s1600-h/P1160239.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeycy2HfPXpyQMUEqXAdbXBitI9OppzjqtF1p6TbcBBc8yoC4ZXBwyqeTpDk8BVPRjR1o_qzo53Ntfa0_56lzwayRf3qRRqVSsOFhZKX8SyTGOZ6YWhzAzwYWyrgoyB5ZwmGohZLMemRs/s320/P1160239.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330318711947280690" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfVimRIcOa9CW3IwXyVQxwXJVOoPNa9hY1TwYTuWtFbGCrLICGOPEQX2sRgR-_a6cl1GV3YAEv0U03_w1lrV1LgDTTMNZxaCFOwFzgMoqDd4ciFugteRF2V_pkikRfJryZFXwDiXBzAgQ/s1600-h/P1160241.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfVimRIcOa9CW3IwXyVQxwXJVOoPNa9hY1TwYTuWtFbGCrLICGOPEQX2sRgR-_a6cl1GV3YAEv0U03_w1lrV1LgDTTMNZxaCFOwFzgMoqDd4ciFugteRF2V_pkikRfJryZFXwDiXBzAgQ/s320/P1160241.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330318707954224658" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil9VvXgT5vdS5Mdtih_x12egNY-ZjFUrioNOXkClRO5mnUjzUUkfoPcTcgpviov_Up4Mtsnw-im-LxMPT5MHu-ROZ7x6UL3L3YHSm6Zyjs0IJpCVoHamNrPwz6pSILuTjp-qKo6vsIXPA/s1600-h/P1160247.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil9VvXgT5vdS5Mdtih_x12egNY-ZjFUrioNOXkClRO5mnUjzUUkfoPcTcgpviov_Up4Mtsnw-im-LxMPT5MHu-ROZ7x6UL3L3YHSm6Zyjs0IJpCVoHamNrPwz6pSILuTjp-qKo6vsIXPA/s320/P1160247.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330318697805536258" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675635945201437035.post-80094263331108078192009-04-29T19:59:00.000-07:002009-04-29T20:10:33.666-07:00Writing Love LettersI decided that it would be nice for the pasta to have some company while I went home when the gallery closed, so I left it notes over the last couple days. The letters were composed to the individual components of the alphabet pasta. Here is an example of what was written, followed (of course) by a couple pictures.<br /><br />Dear and Darling Y's,<br />I adore you. You are graceful and beautiful and I think the world of you. I want you to know that I appreciate not only your being here with me but also all it took for you to get here. This may seem out of the blue, since I had previously discarded you, but I assure you it comes with a most sincere heart. Thank you so very much!

Look inwards. Imagine that the feeling of love is a little energetic ball floating somewhere in your body. Locate exactly where this feeling is bouncing. <br />Imagine your hands catching and cupping this ball of feeling gently as you would hold a firefly in the summer. Feel it bouncing around in your hands, warming the points at which it touches upon your skin. <br />Then imagine the ball becomes a balloon, not yet filled with air. With each inhale, see the balloon grow and press outwards towards your limbs. Feel it extend into your arms and legs. Feel it as it swells against the inside of your skin-- all the way to the tips of your fingers, the crown of your head, and the edges of your toes. Hold it there, filling and warming your body. <br />When you are ready, with an inhale, allow the balloon of love to extend past your skin, creating an aura around your body. <br /><br />Congratulations, you are now brimming with love!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675635945201437035.post-64653133819292283062009-04-27T20:09:00.000-07:002009-04-27T20:56:55.339-07:00Monday, The Set-Up<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqWWFWL8mzZH8dYWWmUIPCi7qw5SY8F49s4W-zdd2xJBn41n4Z-KfH-2DsnjuvBBBvI6VnIZukFV2LsdCOkdQrlbzvPb4EyTYWXF6AmuyyDOxkaiSwUhfIA9fGGleGLun5qAeSt1gszpk/s1600-h/P1160216.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;

One is a pile of L’s, O’s, V’s and E’s; the other pile is “leftovers.” I intend to feed the LOVE soup to my close friends on a one on one basis, by their invitations, in their kitchens. The rest of the letters have posed a problem for quite some time—I do not want to feed loveless soup to anyone, friend or stranger. Finally, a solution presented itself: group meditation. There have been numerous studies on how group meditation has altered the state of physical things. An example of this is an experiment done in the late seventies in Washington DC, where a large number of participants were said to lower crime in the city by merely meditating on it together. (http://www.istpp.org/crime_prevention/)<br /><br />The Invitation:<br />I would like to invite you to help me meditate the love back into the loveless soup. I will lead mediation sessions from Monday, April 27th through Thursday, April 30th, 10AM to 5PM at the Reed Gallery. You can drop by for your lunch break or stay for the whole day. You can participate, make suggestions, or just watch the process. The culmination will be the cooking and eating of the soup, which will take place in the gallery during the opening reception for the show on April 30th, in the evening.<br /><br />The Place:<br />The Reed Gallery is located in the DAAP Building on the University of Cincinnati campus. Here are more detailed directions: http://www.daap.uc.edu/gallery/reed<br /><br />Please email me if you have any questions.<br /><br />Hope to see you there!<br /><br /><br />Dina Sherman<br />www.theimagallery.comUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1
