| Living in Oregon, no money, run-down apartment. Start a sculpture about death; man dying in a stream surrounded by plants, fish, frogs. Gold box casket and hands are six pallbearers we need to carry us out: | ||
| @ | Life is short, a thin line of bright color pressed between layers of darkness. Death is long. | @ |
| As I work, the piece gets better, brightens, mixes with life.. Hands become waving silhouettes lifted in praise: | ||
| @ | Gently weave the earthtone threads of humans, animals, and plants into a precious tapestry of joy. | @ |
