Signs of the Beautiful – Hearing the Silence

25.07.25 | Ruth Dec-Friedman | No Comments

 

For close to ten yers, I have made unusual curb your dog signs for our building’s gardens. I use the wisdom of others followed by my thoughts trying to pick up to pick up on the mood of the times. In the spring of 2025, our community had a great deal of trouble accepting the 2024 election. So did I. So wondering how I would handle myself, I decided the best way would be to go into a space of silence. I had to let my actions be driven by wisdom, not gut reactions. I needed the silence that would allow answers to come forth. In Signs of the Beautiful – Hearing the Silence, find my installation art project for 2025 in our gardens.NYC Flower Bed with Red Mums. From Beauty Heals in Troubled Times - Signs of the Beautiful

Sometimes it is hard to read our garden signs because of the glare on the protective laminate. They are better appreciated outside. So I had some fun and made the signs’ sayings into posters.  Copy whatever you want. It is my hope that they may bring you direction and comfort.

The Signs

The Saying That Keeps Me Going

 

The Garden – Sharing My Strength

How I Approach a Confusing Time

 

The Garden – Asking the Garden Readers to Give Themselves Some Time

______________________________________________________

Humor Saves Us

 

The Garden – Makes Me Want to Sing

______________________________________________________

The Power of Quiet

 

The Garden – May It Inspire the Quiet We Need

______________________________________________________


Our little gardens were mirrors of larger ones. During this time of chaos, I had to pay homage to the attack on our national parks.

 

Nature Heals Us

William Blake owns the quote. Huxley and Morrison respected silence as a means to new perceptions but they used drugs to aide them.

 

Quite your mind.

This sign commemorates the life of one of neighbors who passed during thee year.

This is a good quote for all of us. In the quiet, we don’t know when the change will occur. We have to be ready for it.
Hope!

 

Experience the quite, but once you here the answers, act.
