"Must I Always Wear a Mask?"
Good Morning, Folks!
Need a quick diversion?
I'm wondering: Who is this mysterious person? And what is he up to? 🤔

This is another page from the little book I made 20 years ago during a weekend conference which featured discussions of Parker Palmer's writings.

I wonder what sort of creature this is?
Someone's pet, perhaps?

This is a page from a little booklet I made for myself 20 years ago as a momento of a weekend seminar featuring the life-affirming writings of Parker J. Palmer. I felt a particular kinship with that panicky, imperfect kitty.

Here are 2 views of the same "Twiglees." A ballet dancer--& the first I made. I shaped it from a failed Carissa Holly shrub that was badly root-bound before I had planted it in our yard. I'm fairly sure I over-fertilized it, too.
(The blue box is attached to the wall with thumbtacks!)

If you only ever listen to one song of mine, please choose this one. I wish I could say that it captures who I am, but I'd better just say that THIS is whom I aspire to be.

The perfect lyrics would express yearning, patience, hope, and...joy!

Here's my favorite Twiglys (pronounced Twig-lees) & its shadow.
The end with leaves comes from the trunk & branches of a small, dead shrub. The left half came from the roots.
I shaped the head by soaking a root, bending it, and then holding it in that shape with a strong rubber band until it dried.
