transitioning to home

sandra brownlee gifted us
with world enough and time
five days
enough being there
and enough safety to laugh
to be quiet
to think and work
in ways new and in safe emotional space
i can't remember one guarded or sarcastic word.
so we had individual time with sandra
and in this sacred space
another student, lynda shalagan, painted our exchange.
under nancy's apple tree.
 
 our lines, a poem

 sandra shared a book by hedi kyle
 the font
 mending words
 some bugs
 "touch"
 sacred things
 oriface: hay
 dear therese inside a big paper
 all of us in the barn
 for the one who couldn't come
 ~~~
and here, here is a book
made by my student lynn keffer
at w.s.w.
so lovely.
(apologies to those who i didn't have time to ask permission of:
we're in a bit of a crisis here)
