Ruth, I'm so sorry for the pain that you are suffering, and I'm holding you in my heart and my prayers. Your words here are so inspiring to me, and so is the art that you have so generously shared. I admire your work so much - on a good day, I can barely draw stick people, so I'm in awe of what you have accomplished. I'm sending my very best wishes to you!
Somehow writing about it, just like painting, externalizes and clarifies what I'm feeling in my body. I remain the "happiest" I've ever been in my life and very much live in the present. Thank you for your support and for sharing your experience abroad and with a facet of our historical culture. It is every bit a part of who we are and I greatly admire those keeping their contemporary storytelling, art, traditions, and practices alive!
