Oil and Gold

So yesterday after leaving the library I took off and walked around Worcester. There sure are a heck of a lot of churches, which consists of the majority of pictures I took. I headed up north and after grabbing a sandwich went to the Worcester Art Museum, which is across from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute. I made the decision to miss the 3pm bus back to the train and decided on seeing the museum and walking home.

The museum was a decent size with several nice pieces on display, but it cost $12 for admission, and that's WITH my student discount (I'm so glad I still carry around my Geneseo ID). I paid the fee and took a walk around. At most museums usually I feel a sense of calm, but since there were not too many people there, and they had a lot of security on staff, I felt very uneasy and felt the eyes of all the guards following me. Usually I would have taken more pictures (if allowed) but I didn't feel right in doing so. I did however take a picture of...one of Monet's Waterlilies paintings! I have found another one! After my disappointment in Kansas City it was such a surprise to stumble upon one. That's one more I can cross off my checklist!

A church

The Hanover Theatre

Small courtyard across the street

Other side of the courtyard

Back side of City Hall

Another church haha

Worcester Art Museum, and that is NOT the front door, which I discovered after attempting to enter haha

Water Lilies!

Kind of dark but some nice houses on the street.

After visiting the museum I walked home, which was kind of farther than I thought (it ended up being around 3.5 miles) but I knew it would be good to stretch out my legs from working them out the day before. I stopped at Walmart to see if they had restocked their exercise section, and unfortunately did not. I really need to get a yoga mat, and then only had two left, a purple one with flowers and a pink one with flowers. I don't need a mat THAT badly...yet.

Today we open in Worcester at 7pm. I need to head out back to the arena to do sound check, but I wanted to share this: I still get Notes from the Universe from my email every day, and I used to share them in my blog, especially ones that inspired me or happen to really touch on my life that day. Well this was my one for today:

ADVENTURERS WARNING:

Sometimes, being your true radiant self, living in the moment, glad for all you already have and who you already are, Chris, isn't always easy.

Nope, such conditions create the precise moment in one's life when the floodgates of physical abundance swing open the farthest, giving rise to that persistent, nagging "issue of the ages": where to put it all.

Really -
The Universe

Thanks Universe.
