“These pieces are about all the many layers of
unintentional busyness I have practiced in my life,
because I was led to believe
that this was ‘how to have what it takes’…
I began my self-quarantine on Feb 26, 2020, (85 days, so far).
After experiencing the longest pause of free time I’ve had
in my entire adult life, and having been given the unexpected luxury
of time and space to bravely self-reflect, rest, re-set, re-calibrate,
re-evaluate, I have discovered two really uncomfortable facts:
1) That for most of my life, I have left myself last.
2) It appears that I could only allow myself just so much happiness
or pleasure before I started expecting something terrible to happen.
Well, look at this!
The worst has actually happened, and yet here I stand.
I am an orphan, a young widow and an artist,
alone during a world-wide pandemic.
It may sound crazy, but, I am so grateful,
because I now understand that this journey no longer
needs to be a straight line, efficient or multi-tasked.
It’s just got to be pointed to my TRUE NORTH,
feel good most of the time and be done with great love and not fear.
(Even if that means Bare-Naked Parasailing).”
