There's a LOT here!! I did get to attend the National Gallery of Art East Wing's exhibit on the Age of Exploration - my personal favorite (fer you who know me will say "of course") was the Cathaway second section on the Eastern culture and philosophies.. there was a demonstration when a guy unrolled a scroll and explained the pictograph story - the general story line was of a man who'd been killed and returned in the form of a snake which is reputed to be a "lower life form" as a result of a "Curse" which was placed on him in vengence for a wrongfull act. It touched lightly upon Shinto and Taoism. I liked the many statues, hand carved detailed wrok s of various shrines and god(ess)s and the many scrolls and hand done picutres were just amazing!! My mother kepy commenting on how they could've possibly gotten the entire exhibit all together under one location must've been a work of art/work in and of itself!! I noticed the posts on the geneology - as if I didn't have enough personal projects to keep me busy fer a life time as it is!! <grin> I may well take advantage of my living arrangements (King Street Metro into DC) but it will have to be over the summer once classes are done. I have done a mass msg. dump from this echoe and will keep the information on hand/file for future referance.
