Missing (250510)
And I don't know the reason
I don't have a clue, at all
I just found myself (today) looking at these two
First, a white blank Berkeley sketch pad
Second, a red colored Pilot Progrex point seven mechanical pen
Then, at my count
Pushed twice, I let the lead out
I started...
Making these two things attached
Familiarizing the details and then it went
One, my right hand drew lines
Two, hold the eraser after three seconds
After, moved to do lines again
And so on and so fort
A minute or two
Hey! Now I knew!
Oh sure I miss
MY VERY DEAR HUMBLE HOME
MY BAHAY KUBO

As I shared with you before, I attended the opening of the 5th Pacific Rim Park in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philippines on May 30th 2009. It was successfully opened! The works of all the participants from around the world were very impressive. See “Blog” at http://www.prppearls.blogspot.com/ and visitwww.pacificrimpark.org for more information.

Pacific Rim Peace Park
July 11 -August 8, 2010
This has an intensive 28-day design/build adventure will focus on building an park on the edge on a future grand park dedicated to Peace in the Pacific. The class begins with students working individually and then moving towards a group design process. This process concludes with the Artistic Director, Jim Hubbell, and spending one day creating the design that will be built. The design emanating from the collective ideas of the class layered with the experience of the Artistic Director. The remainder of the course is an intensive sprint to build what has been designed, utilizing local, environmentally appropriate materials, while allowing the design and building processes to continually inform one another.
