Barring an invasion from our southern neighbours on Jan. 20, when DT is promising/threatening/”just kidding”/hallucinating that 100 executive orders will be implemented (including the possible invasion of Canada🤔🇨🇦) Shavasana Gallery & Café will be open for business. Who knows? perhaps when the first amphibious landing craft hit the beaches of Miners Bay, and the Marines come charging up the hill shouting “My Country, Right or Wrong!” they’ll be thirsty and tired by the time they reach the Gallery Café and want coffee and a cookie.

Now, of course I’ll be terribly upset by their aggressive behaviour, after they’ve breached my protective wall of Scotch Broom, and will likely greet them on my porch with my arms akimbo, a stern look on my face, and say something like, “Hey, that’s not very nice!”. I’ll be totally conflicted about serving them…but what if they want to buy some local arts or crafts…in American Dollars💵💲💲…for their girlfriends (or boyfriends, assuming they haven’t had time to rescind their DEI programs) back home. What to do my friends? I’ll be in a pickle that’s fer sher.

Perhaps when they arrive, they too will be smitten by the beauty and tranquility of SḴŦAḴ in SENĆOŦEN, and will feel the warmth of community that we share, and will lay down their arms and choose instead to work as Woofers on some of the local hobby farms. I can almost hear one of them ask, “Is it true that you guys have Health Care up here? I twisted my ankle jumping off the landing craft, and it’s kinda swollen.”

All right then! Shavasana Gallery & Café coming soon to an island near you – during these slower months, when I’m only open one weekend per month, I’ve decided to be open 4 days rather than my typical 3 day weekend in the summer, so, Friday Jan 17 through Monday Jan. 20th. Baked Goodies and hot coffee will be available, along with some beautiful examples of local talent gracing the walls and shelves of the Gallery. Hope to see you then!🙏❤️
