Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth.

Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself.

Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here.

Hold on to life even when it is easier letting go.

Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you.

~Pueblo blessing

This image is from an LTTA Artist Educator training session a few years ago in Prince Edward County. Adele participated in the bamboo activity of connecting with a partner and then eventually the rest of the room using only your finger tips to hold the bamboo rods. What a lovely analogy for how she went at life; collaborating together, learning and making connections for the success of the activity or project. Always with laughter and fun at the centre. I love how pleased she looks. 
She seemed to delight in everything that she did and created a positive, joyful atmosphere to learn and live within. She will be deeply missed by all those who she touched with her generous mentorship, friendship and collegiality. All shared with her twinkling eyes and sparkling smile. She will live on in the memories and actions of those Teachers and Artist Educators who she guided towards being the very best that they can be in helping their learners be the best that they can be.
