Ciao,
gentle readers..
my heart is heavy as I write these words,
for my country, for the people and for my friends suffering
through this horrible disease..
 |
| Detail from June Art Journal Pages, Caterina Giglio Hollyhocks.. |
My June pages reveal the inner turmoil
that I have been experiencing..
I know I must create..
and give myself over to the act of creation,
and
I find this dark cloud hanging over me.. in so many ways..

Perhaps you have felt this way too..
at first it was a stifling feeling of being stuck.
a lack of freedom..
of movement..
and experiences...
Though we are safe and leave only
for marketing..
I know many are suffering
and this country is ripped at the seams..
Each day I rise ..
make my way to my studio
and take my materials into my hands,
it is the best way...
I know
to release the concerns I have..
the creative energy moves through me,
onto the page
the board,
and each fiber of the stitch..
reconnecting
me to the source of all there is..
to
soothe me..
if for only
a few hours..
I will take them.

Be well my dear ones
and keep creating..
no matter how difficult it might be
to
focus and concentrate..
for art heals
and aways will..
