Nurturing & transforming lives by creating art together
Haitian Coalition of Somerville
If the world is to be healed through human
efforts, I am convinced it will be by ordinary
people, people whose love for this life is even
greater than their fear. - Joanna Macy
| Summer 2011 Somerville, MA |
Dear
hand in hand arts friends,
Happy Summer!
Actually I
think Art lies in both directions - the broad strokes, big picture but
on the other hand the minute examination of the apparently mundane.
Seeing the whole world in a grain of sand, that kind of thing. -
Peter Hammill
I'd love to hear what's going on in your part of the planet. Send snail mail or e-mail. On a snail mail note, I'll be moving in August, drop me an e-mail if you would like my new address.
Much peace, warmth (not to hot!), and joy this summer.

"She's (Krówka's) as soft as a cotton
ball"
Krowka
and I volunteer almost every Monday! It's been amazing for me, krowka
and the folks we visit.
Some say it's the highlight of their week and I would have to say it
might be mine as well. Check out the program if you have a pet or know
or one that might like to bring amazing joy to folks lives. Recently we
started to do a home Hospice visit as well!
