Colors. Textures. Shapes. Invitations to pay attention. Gorgeous Garbage. Mixed up and mingled. Curious about time & the need to document how I use it...Fear emerges: Will we have the time we need? Thoughts shift. If my daily calendar is empty, did I exist? If we live without record, do we exist? Or, is there something more powerful I don't yet understand that connects us to the spirit of things & not things themselves? Trump's election sparked my initial focus on compost. Since then, the pile has shifted from metaphor for America (a diverse soup), to an invitation to explore my relationship to just about everything and everyone...including myself. So I've been hanging out with tea-cups submerged in ponds and feeling the power of moss while in prayer. I wonder: Will I take this invitation to change, to emerge from this time with renewed interest in what's possible? Or will I hold on to what I know & to what feels safe because I am afraid? For me,
it's a choice, & fear is not an option.

You really have to be strong to push yourself to make that choice.
