My younger sister, too, loves the luminous work of William Laib, whose work is currently on exhibit at NY MOMA. The radiant golden square of hand-gathered hazelnut pollen brings to mind saffron-robed monks; think of the loving patience needed to gather this much pollen.
For me, it also is reminiscent of Lakshmi–goddess of prosperity, who is said to glow golden and whose energy we invoked the day before at a workshop with scholar and intuitive Constantina Rhodes.

I walk past the Japanese American World War II Memorial on my way to work. This means I mostly walk past without thinking about why it is there. This morning I was moved to reread and remember and ask myself what am I doing about it?

“‘I don’t know what you mean by your way,’ said the Queen: “all the ways about here belong to me… ‘Curtsey while you’re thinking what to say. It saves time.'” Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass
It’s been one of those weeks when I realized that whatever this lesson is that I am supposed to learn, I don’t seem to have learned it very well yet. Best thing I know when having such realizations is to pause, to go for a walk, to eat well, to clean, to draw on the wisdom and affection of friends, to pet the cat, to go out into the garden, to meditate (not necessarily in that order). To be open to changing and growing–painful as it may seem.
