words-on-the-street

   

Words are flowing out like endless rain...the Fiona Apple version of Across the Universe plays in my mind when i think about our last Act on Brigade road last Sunday. The mood was so gentle and the balance between energy and chaos was just perfect!

I'll admit come Friday and Mesh and I were as skittish as two cats about our 'plan'. It was a little more complicated than the others. We wanted people to give us their minds. We wanted to be able to read their thoughts. We wanted everyone to know what was on each others minds. We wanted to experiment with calligraphy...we wanted it all!

Sunday afternoon found both of us badly head-ached and slightly edgy Screeched in at 4pm. Pulled out the goodies from my car. Up went the banners. Paints were mixed. ‘Give us words’ was our little notice to the people. 15 meters of cloth was spread out onto the pavement and we got right into it. People began asking questions soon enough, and out came our SOF bookmarks. Saurabh and Udai got out their cameras and passers-by got the idea really quick and the words began to flow…

All 30 meters of cloth were painted. And we could have gone on well past 5:30pm, but the cops did have a point…where were our permission papers for that?

So one more superb Sunday and thanks to all our friends who showed up!
