Wisdom Wednesdays are usually quotes from others that I’ve found inspiring through the years. However, I just came across some writings of mine written in 1997 and in 1995 that I wanted to share. This is the fourth of those and the first that was written in 1995 before I hemorrhaged: A Poem to Celebrate […]
I Begin With the Grasses
It’s actually hard to say where these paintings begin because they come from such a deep part of me, from a connection with and respect for this land, from the life I’ve been exploring since coming here.
