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

Foundations in Owen Sound


Hello Adele! Karen McCello here. 
Andrea Piller, Jim Adams (facilitator-in-training) and I just spent a beautiful weekend facilitating Foundations in Owen Sound. I’ve been thinking of you, particularly at times over this weekend, imagining how delighted you would be to see the flowering confidence and generous energy in this lovely group of Artist-Educators. This is a picture of our Community Agreement.

 We were at the beautiful Tom Thomson Gallery, and were treated to a guided tour of their current exhibit - a thought-provoking collection by Montreal ceramic artist Laurent Craste. His work is mind-bending and provocative -- really awe-inspiring. 
We also enjoyed being invited to view some of Tom Thomson’s early work. I don’t know if the pictures really do them justice, but they just shimmered with light and energy.
 

Also wanted to share a few pics of a sparkling young artist! Her parents are both phenomenal artists and people - her father, an eminent photographer, her mother (a Foundations student) a high-flying circus artist. Oh the places she will go!
 


Thinking of you, Adele, and wishing you comfort.
 Warmest love, Karen
