Sometimes it's tough to put into words how we feel about things that are important to us. Making art can help ... clearing space for relationships (even without words) and movement beyond the stuck places in our lives. On the first Sunday of spring, 26 people gathered to make their own unique contributions to our community mosaic tree.
Laughs, tears, questions and answers were shared as families, couples, singles, elders, parents, teens, and young children all shared their thoughts, feelings, intentions, and creativity while contemplating what matters most to them.
One of the young people shared about his creation, "Escaping the Wall -- If people can't come into our country we won't be able to be friends with different kinds of people." When asked how he felt about that, he seemed surprised and immediately replied, as if we should know the answer. "Sad," he said, with a downward gaze and slumped shoulders, his disappointment evident to us all.
Couldn't have done it with such ease and flow without our faithful support team!
We welcome you to join us at our next gathering: Sunday, April 23 or Saturday, May 20 at 1:30 (support team at 1:00). Send us an email to mosaicswithmeaning at gmail dot com if you have questions or imagine you'd like to be a part of the Spring bloom. (Wrote that email address in a weird way to avoid spammers)
