A couple of years ago, we visited the Biennale of Sydney at Cockatoo Island. Sadly, the event has been cancelled this year.
The showstopper piece of the day, and in fact the entire 2018 exhibition, was Ai Weiwei’s Law of the Journey (2017).
Measuring 60 x 6 x 3m, it’s a magnificent and thought-provoking piece, and was originally suspended from the ceiling of the National Gallery of Prague. When it came to Australia, a custom plinth was created to sit it on, inscribed with quotes from philosophers and thinkers across the ages.
I loved this one in particular…
“Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by accidents of time, or place, or circumstances, are brought into closer connection with you.”
St Augustine of Hippo
. . . . .
We can’t fix the problems of the world, but what we can do is try to take care of those our lives intersect with. At a time in human history when we’re all having to self-isolate, this directive feels more important than ever.
Take good care, dearhearts, of yourselves and each other. ♥

Love his work – here ion NYC he had a public art exhibit “good fences make good neighbors”. A few years ago– This piece is amazing and well the quote —timeless Thx for sharing
Powerful reminder of what it means to be a human being.
I remember you posting the photo of that artwork, it’s so affecting and the quote you’ve chosen is the same. That makes my heart swell – that’s the only way I can think to describe the emotion. Take good care of yourself and your family too. I just remembered your box of happy Muppets – that’s so happy smile-making – i loved Kermit.
