This mini photo/poem/blog was created as a brief reflection not long after The Eroles Project, an arts and activism residency that took place in Catalunya, Spain, this Summer.

about
let’s see…
what emerges…
experiment and play
laugh and cajole
the Fool’s journey…
Once upon a time
in story land
on the top of a mountain
lightning flashes
exposing bare bodies;
poetry desperate to be written and spoken
pouring out of pages.
Bright young eyes
yet
innocent wisdom
–a Rose.
It’s the beauty of
new friendships,
for life
…to Life!
We are different
so,
how to proceed?
Co-create
cook
clean
and yet
we e m e r r r r g e
with a common theme –
care for
Our Mother
Our Planet
Our Selves
as each Other.
Nurturing and supporting
holding in hugs and ears
when one is
down.
Others-
DJ or mend
sing or sleep
or slide bow along violin string
spontaneously creating bursts of magic for
new comers –
tramping from Tremp…
“follow the yellow string!”
We call out…
What’s Your Name?
echoing
across
the Mountain.

Casita de Colores, unearthing
cobwebbed crannies
and a green square solar radio that hasn’t
been wound
for years.
Also,
dinosaur feet in the land and fennel
splayed across the garden wall.
Water.
Collecting.
In showers
and sink in
big
pink
buckets.
Use
less.
Sometimes feel so use-less.

And so it was

I am compost-eating alter

but mostly
Playing! Praying
laughter sh-sh-shaking throughout the casita!
Giving r i i i se to experimention
of documentation.
Aaron sings happy birthday as Marilyn
-a soft opening
over
Time
through all of our hearts.

Will we meet in Paris?
Some yes,
some no
but I know
we are Enough.
because,
we are making action.
Together
in our inter-
actions
connecting hearts
and minds
across
cultures
and even
Oceans.
We try not to judge
our differences
and learn from
our stories
in the mirror.

Meditation mornings
give rise
to
stillness.
And onwards,
slowly
onwards,
we go.
