“cellular wishes” came about from many months of deep reflection,
journaling and prayer brought on by these days of deep unrest.
I often found myself longing and looking for comforting thoughts.
One comforting thought that came quite frequently were memories of gathering
and throwing “Wish Rocks”(rocks with a continuous line of connection).
I would gather them on a favorite beach and make a wish, to return to a person or place,
that I was parting from. Equally compelling for me in the creation of this piece are
the beautiful images of this virus, and our chaotic, sometimes painful, interconnectedness.
“I woke again,
my life is easy,
much easier than most.
The birds keep singing,
the wind gently waves its arms around me,
and I stand,
and begin again.
It is enough.
So much to be grateful for,
so much to care about.
Count yourself in,
one of the many.
Sometimes it’s enough,
to not know more
than just a little.
I want to be kind, kinder,
best, better,
but all I know is to bristle up,
hunker down,
lay low in the quiet,
and ready myself for a good long fight.”
