Having a creative friend stirs and inspires the creativity in me. Thank you. Your words also remind me of the words of a favorite--Mary Oliver: “The most regretful people on earth are those who felt the call to creative work, who felt their own creative power restive and uprising, and gave to it neither power nor time.” Thank you for taking hold of your call to creative work. You are an artist, and we need artists now more than ever. In these times, I, too, hold on so tightly to friendships and community. I am still trying to build a community in my physical location, but your long-distance friendship makes me feel connected to a broader community, weaving this web of solidarity, art, creativity, and resistance. I am grateful. xoxo
