ReplyDeleteyes, ronnie, exactly. a logical connection, and more and subtle healing.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to "see" the North Country...so similar to here. That's a comfort. Love seeing you in a photo...you're looking mahvelous!
ReplyDeletenancy, they're very similar. my hair was wet from a fresh scrubbing, but those two make me smile with their amazing energy, kindness, and intelligence.
ReplyDeleteV - I love your misty shots; it seems so gentle and welcoming. But oh my, the peace paper is wonderful! Thank you for sharing...
ReplyDeletefiona, peace paper is totally special. totally.
ReplyDeleteThe combat paper project was in London a few years ago - I'm so glad to see that it has spin-offs (or, cousins?) like Peace Papers!
ReplyDeletemargaret, i think drew keeps moving forward into more and more interesting projects.
