I’ve given myself two weeks to answer a list. On my list are relatively small goals but they are necessarily comprehensive, since the overall aim is to break through a log jam of old unfulfilled ideas, to clear out what is no longer useful or appropriate, and give form to the ones with a vigorous pulse. So.
Ten paintings finished and hung in a public space in two weeks.
Hammer drawing #1 – rough
Two public performances booked for cello ensemble, so that we HAVE TO polish these beautiful pieces, and present them.
(If you’re interested in hearing us: December 1 Aids Vigil at the Tom Thomson Memorial Art Gallery, and December 16 6:30pm at Owen Sound City Hall)
One new project for 2016, very dear to my heart, fleshed out and taken to the collaboration table.
Eight long hikes.
Three non-fiction books finished.
One grant application mentored and sent.
Five daily rituals carefully designed and established.
One package, two letters sent to Japan.
…and space in-between.
Autumn ferns on the Bruce Trail, September.
This reads almost like a Dr. Seuss book…
One fish, two fish, three fish, four….
inheritance from two families on my mother’s side: A proud sign from Kennedy Foundry of Owen Sound, hanging on the wall of Circle Bar Ladies’ Hosiery factory, also in Owen Sound, owned and operated by my mom & aunt’s grandparents, Walter and Catherine Keebler. The fish are mine – made from carpentry scraps.
