"Yours, Yourself - Trust" 2009
This piece is about letting go and beginning the process of loving yourself,
trusting yourself...With that all is possible.
Love after Love by Derek Walcott
The time will come
when, with elation
you greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was yourself.
Give wine, Give bread, Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, who you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes.
Peel your own image from the mirror
Sit, Feast on your own life.
Today is this moment Feast on your unique and outrageously beautiful life.
This new piece along with three other newer pieces are at the Alma Gallery for display.
New work created and inspired by the upcoming International Womyn's Day on MARCH 8th...IWD is often celebrated with a day off in many countries..honouring all womyn all over the world...
I have completed my section of "On Paper Wings", the Helen Keller altered book round robin project, called Inner Works Collaborative and it is now on route to the lovely Roxanne of River Garden Studio. Check her lovely work out and her Inner Works Collaborative book, "Earth Tones". All the while when I was putting the finished touches to my book before sending it out...I was thinking of Roxanne and the beautiful music that her blog emits when you are reading her blog posts..and as I was working on my book I played the lovely Lorenna McKennitt which reminds me of Roxanne, even though I have never met her in person..funny how that happens...music is a powerful gift in our life, full of associations, joy, sorrow, love and all things...
