Chrysalis

Something new is emerging.

Since last winter, I have submerged into a soulful chrysalis, a thoughtful hermitting. I just stopped doing many things I normally do. I felt unmoored, untethered, a bit lost for a long time. I know not to be alarmed when I feel this way. It’s always a sign that something important is ready to emerge. I just need to be open, aware, trusting, curious. I gently and patiently welcome what is to be next.

I don’t know exactly what that “next” will be, except that we are moving to another city. And I have a renewed interest in other forms of creative expression that I’ve left behind when I became obsessed with working metal with forging and fire. And I’m thinking a lot about getting clear on what is really important and what is not. And our new home will be the beginning of a new community and new inspirations.

I think I will be doing my last art faire with Local 14 this October. I’ve loved this venue, the people, the encounters, and it feels like it’s time to do something different.

I’m ready to leap.
