I told him I wasn't sure who would die first - Mom or me. He said, "I know why she isn't dieing. Her heart is too big." You have a huge heart just like your Mom and Dad (and my Mom). I love your connection with art, love, and big hearts. <BR/>Thanks for your blog connection.

You are definitely passionate about your work in La Cambalacha. One does hope that everyone can at some point in their life find their life's work. Love you so much, MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434612676798367425.post-16863518551172900782009-01-27T05:46:00.000-08:002009-01-27T05:46:00.000-08:00Ashleigh, I am heart-warmed to find myself nodding...Ashleigh, I am heart-warmed to find myself nodding my head emphatically in agreement with everything you have written, although we are in such different worlds right now. YES, we must crush apathy and find meaning every day in our actions; YES, we must embrace and embody love toward ourselves and others; YES the practice of creativity and art-making are the keys to self-discovery and repairing the pains of systemic and structural violence and oppression, which too many people suffer from in their homes and in society. YES, Ashleigh, what you are doing is important to you and to the universe. <BR/><BR/>And know that you are close to my thoughts, as most of the work I am doing in graduate school now is centered on artists and the ways they grapple with the world and try to change it with their creative powers. People like you, Ashleigh!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276487639250195521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434612676798367425.post-46226067334220275962009-01-26T19:45:00.000-08:002009-01-26T19:45:00.000-08:00so thrilled to read your words, amazed at all you ...so thrilled to read your words, amazed at all you observe and how vivid your images...I reread them all at various times...dadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
