transitioning to home
sandra brownlee gifted us
with world enough and time
five days
enough being there
and enough safety to laugh
to be quiet
to think and work
in ways new and in safe emotional space
i can't remember one guarded or sarcastic word.
so we had individual time with sandra
and in this sacred space
another student, lynda shalagan, painted our exchange.
under nancy's apple tree.
our lines, a poem
sandra shared a book by hedi kyle
the font
mending words
some bugs
"touch"
sacred things
oriface: hay
dear therese inside a big paper
all of us in the barn
for the one who couldn't come
~~~
and here, here is a book
made by my student lynn keffer
at w.s.w.
so lovely.
(apologies to those who i didn't have time to ask permission of:
we're in a bit of a crisis here)

Oh Velma, this brought back memories with the lovely class I had with Sandra.Hope to catch up with you at the Grampian next year, I will only be there for the week end and am doing a stitching class which I hope will be relaxing as a lot going on here too. Would have loved to do your 4 day class but not to be.
Reply DeleteHeavenly. Your post brings it all back. I took yesterday to just be...oops!...simply be in my house and take joy in the doing of normal house things - like laundry which I'd usually dislike. "Be here now" keeps running through my mind along with a host of phrases.
Reply DeleteHope your crisis at home is not serious and is easily solved. Enjoy!
Hi V - not all workshop create bonds and shared energy - this one seems to have all those good things in loads - I love it when you can immerse oneself in creativity with out competition and with connectedness. B

Reply Deletejennifer, be here now. in laundry, in house, in crisis, it's what we do. and in art.
barry, yes, you're so right. sandra creates an exceptional space
claudia, i love this pic, too. so much more me than most photos, and the convo with sandra was very good.
A pause after each photo brought it all back. Thank you. xox
