Today, though, I do not see opposing forces but forces that are complementary, interconnected, and interdependent; I see how they give rise to each other as they interrelate.
I snip a found composition from a 2016 painting exercise, pull out a bright fuschia envelope in which my friend Bo (follow the link!) sent me a note months ago (she found the envelope in her basement where she keeps things), and locate in my scraps box a letter from a high school friend typed on pale green stationery.
These forces come together along with today's sunshine and summer air to become an anniversary card that will leave my house—more space!—to transport love, color, and beauty 600 miles down the road to celebrate Meg and Michael.

I am imagining you at both ends of the rope...except neither one is pulling. Each is playing with whatever is at her end of the rope and making beauty. What a lovely, serendipitous beauty this piece is!
Jen! You are typing! I was not expecting to hear from you for some time but am so utterly delighted to have you say hello!
LOVE your image of my being at both ends of the rope, playing with whatever I find at hand there, and making beauty. Thank you!
A beautiful gift card, how lovely that each piece adds to the whole!
Thank you, Carol. Fun to have to take note of and enjoy how each piece adds to the whole. I love that kind of finishing work. Very gratifying.
Joyful :)
Thanks, Sheila, and, yes! Joyful!
