Today seems to be a continuation of mending and repairing. It could be under the sign of completion, getting the old things out of the way to make room for the new.
A bit of background is in order, in August of 2006, I packed my studio and apartment into a ten by ten storage locker. I had just graduated from Shimer College, fresh with a B.A in Humanities and Philosophy. I had been accepted at Pendle Hill, a Quaker Center for Contemplation and Study as the Minnie Jane Artist in Residence.
Everything I had known up to that time was now shifted to preparing to live in an intentional Quaker community eight hundred miles (Wallingford, PA) from family, friends, and all known resources, you know that magical support network I had developed in the years of being in community. In a way this was indeed a "no-brainer", I had been gifted the time to create art, live among like minded people of all ages listening and living in the Spirit.
Yes, it was transformational.
It was so much transformation that I had to re-enter into the 'mainstream world" upon my return.
