EPILOGUE

A student in one of the family workshops made this drawing of me

while waiting for the smoking barrel

to work its magic on our pots...

I have it here in New York City.

It hangs now in my kitchen, to remind me that I was there.

On Monday, UPS is due to deliver the works that I made at the Tin Shop studio.

Meanwhile I wrestle with the realities of being back in the city.

I am trying very hard to follow the wise words that urge me to 

'be HERE now...'

I am trying to re-enter life in this place

where the pace is so different from that 

when I was 'making mudpies in the Rocky Mountains'.

I am grateful for all that is part of my life here, 

as well as for all that was part of this rich, joyous, creative adventure there.

I repeatedly told studio visitors that I came to Breckenridge to continue

the series of smoke fired 'Bottomless Vessels to Hold Change'

that I had started in my London studio.

I did also quote the Haystack 'welcome speech' several times: that

'no matter what you think you came for, be open to the something else that will unfold...'

and so now I am looking forward to being open

to whatever might continue to unfold....

Next month I have a residency at the Art Complex Museum

in Duxbury, MA.

If the technology there allows, I will do a blog from there.

Otherwise I sign off now from blogger-land 

and thank you for being part of my Colorado residency...
