MacNeil's interest in Native American rituals led him in the summer of 1895 on a modeling expedition into the Far West. He observed the Moqui Indians' annual nine-day prayer for rain celebrated at the top of the mesa at Oraibi, Arizona. It inspired him to make three-dimensional sketches on the spot, probably in wax or clay. For the ceremony, the Moqui used a variety of snakes they had gathered, for to them, as to many Indian tribes, snakes symbolized the lightning that brought rain to their arid climate. At the height of the dance that was the final act of the ritual, the Moqui grabbed the serpents by the handful and ran with them down the trail from the mesa, returning the snakes to the plains so that the prayer for rain could be answered. MacNeil's impression of the ceremony remained so vivid that as soon as he arrived in Italy in 1896 as a Rinehart scholar he began work on this complex study of movement in sculptural form—a dynamic image of a young brave at the climax of the dance, titled The Moqui Prayer for Rain
I'm finding it impossible to do right now. Maybe it has something to do with the 15 mid-30's aged women in my house, taking part in a baby shower my mom decided to hold for a women she works with. JUST MAYBE though.
I have spent many nights exactly like this when I was in school. I feel for this student - working this late in the night when all the classes are over for the day. It must feel very peaceful though, and I remember being the most focused and getting the most work done in the ghostly silence of an empty building.

A young troubled student is hyped up on caffeine, and is trying to study for his upcoming math test.
It's like a pencil with erasers at both ends. I want it all but we're dealing with percents. And these activities that you have engaged in. This is the politics of seeing you dance with him. We begin with concluding remarks. Break up the pieces and examine the parts. Your words always cut when they're cliche. So here's my knife because I came for the buffet. This is the way it goes with you apart of it. Nervously saying words that oh-so-tightly fit. A mark beneath the chin. I've caught you once again. It's in the way you sell every word and phrase. And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs. Saying that but meaning this. Using hands for emphasis. You'd like to think that you're the best part of me. But I confess, there is nothing left of you here. These parallels and silly games hide your face and say the name. There's that smile again, you fake it and I follow you right in. What a fool I've been to fall for it each time.

Obviously, I did do some post editing. Monochrome Channel Mixer with extreme values and then Selective Color adjustment to get the green and blue hue...

Well, it was a wonderful day here at the house of Hudson. He was gone for most of the day, but while he was here, he was a very good boy! Santa will be extra happy to hear that! With my extra time tonight I decided it might be a good idea to learn a little more about the family that I am spending the next few weeks with. I perused some photo books with all kinds of funny pictures. A couple things I definitely can tell from the pictures, at least the ones that I saw, are that Hudson's daddy seems to be a really silly guy, and that Hudson's mommy is a great mommy to have! But most importantly, I could tell from looking at these pictures that Santa sent me to the house of a very good little boy! I am so super-DEE-duper excited to watch over Hudson this year, I could almost give up milk and cookies for a week!
