"Composting" our prior lives is a wonderful image and concept. Turning our past experiences over and over so that we can grow something new. We cannot forget, we we can make something new out of it. Such a great mental illustration of the internal work to be done.

“Art isn’t about perfection or performance, but about contact. When we share what we make, we invite a stranger to feel less alone inside themselves. And we become less alone, too.”

Thank you for sharing your art and wisdom and creating a community that welcomes our emerging shy artists.
