i want to put these here this morning. they say a storm is coming. and i really needed them to be here, in case Electric goes out. i will come back later to put some words if i can, but if not, Jude has words over at the MotherShip...Spirit Cloth....
There are so many things to say, but really, the words here and All the words in the book tell the story so much better. The books arrival came as a complete surprise. I couldn't believe my eyes. i read and read and read the childrens words, went back and read them again. and continue to. Many times a day. the images and the words come at a particularly vulnerable time for me and though i have known of the Strength of these children for a few years, to see it before me like this is such an affirmation of the Beauty of humankind, the great capacity of creating one's own story to heal. Wendy uses the words "rugged determination in creating a meaningful life". Rugged Determination.
only that first page is of Wendy's voice. All the rest, words of the children. and as i continue to read, i am so struck by how they took their Places among us, the Makers, and found such strength of vision, strength of their own stories. how they Worked.
So beauty Full. so full of Heart and such a gift to Us, encouraging Us to believe in Ourselves, in Basic Goodness, and in the simple work of Making.
