Some might say deciding to go back to graduate school at the
young age of 53 is idiotic. Obtaining the loans and incurring this debt is
CRAZY. (sighing) It is not lost upon me
that I am making up for lost time.
I followed my husband with his military career all over the
east and west coast of America, binding my time. Doing the mother role as best
as possible with no roots and making friends along the way. I try to stay
connected to friends. They are located in Boston, Virginia Beach, Louisiana, Tampa,
Monterey, Portland, and even across the great pond.
Today with the technology of the internet and facebook, we
are crossing cultural boundaries. We are writing poetry in groups and displaying
and conveying our heart. We are not defined by race and skin color but by words
and emotions written.
We are becoming an eclectic entity- we are using our OWN
voice to write the art of our souls. The powerful money making machine can not
contain us anymore…it can not write what we are as a culture…it can not
constrain us upon “its” definition of who and what we are.
We are rapidly morphing and changing and transforming! For
as many emotions as a woman has during one day- -we possess as a new non-traditional
entity! As a social network we are lovely energy as large as that great pond- ebbing
and flowing and intense then calm. We are everything and nothing! Isn’t it
glorious?!?!
Perhaps I am crazy…and idiotic by “their” definition to be returning to
graduate school to become the sculptress I have always wanted to be. However,
by my definition I am apart of all you.
I weave my art clay and metal and your whispers of love seep
into me- and my art. I am in heaven, soaring with wings of light! I believe in
a healing arts center! I believe in the power of love and light.
We are stronger to-get-her!
We are stronger to-get-her!
Wooohooooooooo!!! Life is grand!!
The latest art sculpture- the middle of her is pierced…the
line…the horizon…her back is a throne… a complicated woman- indeed!
Beautiful. I am glad the military forced you to move - if it weren't for them then we never would have met. So many treasured memories of our time in Virginia xx
