I’m going to take a break from my jewelry bench, I have a mild case of tendonitis in my right thumb that needs time to heal.
In the meantime, I will work on projects that don’t require physical strength, such as sewing, painting and teaching. I will miss working with metal, but I am sure that I’ll return refreshed and full of new ideas.
Dinosaur Bones
These are the bones of our ancestors. If they had not become extinct 65 million years ago, we would not be here. In the same way, without your sincere support and kind words of encouragement, I would not have come so far.
Thank you for joining me as I am. I feel much stronger and lighter.
Found
I’ve had many losses in the past couple of years. My dark hair. My father’s health. My favorite uncle. My childhood. The original giddy enthusiasm for my work. My blind trust in a higher power that loves and guides me. My belief in destiny. The feeling that anything I want is possible if I set my mind to it. The certainty that I have all the time I need. My sense of magic and synchronicity.
All of this has left a hollow feeling in my chest that physically hurts. Like a punching bag that has taken too many blows. Exhausted and hunched over, I give up. I can’t do this alone. I refuse to give up on la la land. Being reasonable has made me grow up, but it has also left me weary and without super powers. Who am I, if I can’t have a rich inner world of make-believe?

Freedom
I once experienced real freedom. It came after many hours of meditation. I was no longer me, no longer the fragments of memory that make up my history. Not a child, nor a daughter, not a sister or an artist. I was not this body or these feelings. I was just space. Empty space. Terrifying and liberating space.
