Artist's Way

That last post I did, made me realize how much Artist's Way has influenced my life.

We dressed up like ladies and went to Lamb's Cafe just to see how it felt.

We made Mandalas

We became each others' "cup of tea"

We took these words to heart:

I wish I could take a language

And fold it like cool, moist rags.

I would lay words on your forehead.

I would wrap words on your wrists.

"There, there," my words would say -

Or something better.

I would ask them to murmur,

"Hush" and "Shh, shhh, it's all right."

I would ask them to hold you all night.

I wish I could take language

And daub and soothe and cool

Where fever blisters and burns,

Where fever turns yourself against you.

I wish I could take language

And heal the words that were the wounds

You have no names for.

Thank you, Marie. I love you.
