A celestial pack for you, fully honouring the brigadeiro experience is ready since friday.  It has to go to the Post Office but the brazilian one is on strike.  It will probably arrive to Palo Alto with the BD

Hi, I'm a student from the University of Toronto and currently exploring art multiples, including mail art, which I find very interesting and a lot of fun! Will you exchange a piece of mail art with me?

Esther-- Thank you for the Birdwoman card and the words of wisdom: "Let the beauty of what we love be what we do". The beauty of what you do shines through!

To have your name on my mail to do list is a privilege.  By the way, I´ll be visiting relatives in Reedwood city next february.  How long is Palo Alto from there?

"...out beyond the ideas of wrongdoing and right doing there is a field..."  Iuoma is a brilliant cluster of brilliant people who provide a powerful antidote to decades of conventional thinking and it shows on the envelopes, the postcards and the sentences their members select to write on their artworks.  You and the artwork from yours I received yesterday are not the exception to this rule.  My artwork to do list is as long as the Palo Alto-Curitiba huge gap.  I was hijacked by a mail art call.  The exibition ended yesterady. Now is time to....

Thank you so much Esther. I love this bird-mailart and the message you've sent.

Your poems are beautiful. I like 'Red Gesture' especially, so far. I listen to a lot of spoken word/performance poetry. Also, I've recently learned about the Landay - (through the June issue of Poetry Magazine) - which was entirely new to me (and probably to most of the world, I suppose!). Anyway, if you would like to exchange mail art, please either send me your address, and I will gladly respond. I like Heleen's idea of creating a piece of mail art in response to the images that your words evoke.

Earthly apples sometimes are able to feed Celestial Beings.  Celestial apples, like those I received today, feed our soul.  Always!

Hi Esther,

"...I had to guess what feeds a Celestial Being..."  it´s easy Esther.  If the entity is a celestial mail artist, then mail art is the obvious answer. It´s Job number two time.  Why don´t you show Palo Alto to many pople through the lens of your creativity?  Dead line is December the 3rd.

BACKGROUND: “Last month I invited Patricio, the Celestial Scribe, an IUOMA member, to present mail art to my group of students at the university.  It was totally awesome!  My students and I have fallen in love with mail art mainly because the many connections between semiotics (the study of signs and symbols as elements of communication) and the outstanding creative process observed in the artworks received by Patricio. We, as a group, decided that we all wanted to undergo our own mail art experience, semiotics related  The group of students decided to make this mail art call and soon it became one of the assessments procedures for the discipline of cities´semiotics by the university.  Anna Beatriz Paula, PhD  (apbeatriz@gmail.com)
