First of all, I appreciate the idea of art as meditation -- as a form of salvation, really. I love the idea/image of bottling up or preserving memories. The storing of memories thus preserved in haste under duress in a new mother's new life resonates with what my life-saving scribbling of words did for me while I was in the thick of caregiving my elderly father. My desk is, like yours, a sort of little shrine where I work watched over by certain important tangibles. Last but definitely not least, the visual delight of your pressed & fresh flowers side by side with the painting so draws me in -- and all is told in beautiful language. I look forward to reading more of your posts.

This post is beautiful in so many ways ... it's too early in the morning to write a sensible response but I have just subscribed and will say more later!
