Are you way too twisted up to send out blasé pleasant holiday cards? I know, I gotchu. With these, you can express your whole, bruised heart and still wish your people goodness and that thing we all need to keep going: joy. 

 

I have been practicing feeling my fears and dread and anger right alongside, and in the same moment as, my love and delight. It's like spiritual PT, and often what comes to me are images of the trees, covered in snow, in the deep silence of snowfall in the mountains. I take that as a reminder to remain close to the land, not get pulled into a mental tailspin, and to preserve my energy for long-term well being, just like the trees do in the winters. This card came out of that. I hope this dispatch from my wise tree friends will sustain you & yours as we approach whatever lies ahead.

    Tender Fire Studio is part concept, part my tiny basement apartment full of art supplies and very little furniture, and part shared workshop. I work, play, and love on land that was stolen from the Pocumtuc people, settled by colonizers, and continues to be sold for profit in the speculative real estate market for the enrichment and comfort of the owning class. Decolonizing my practice is an ongoing study of how I can be in right relationship to the land, animals, and plants of this place while embracing and acknowledging the often-scary precarity and vulnerability of a life given to the pursuit of soul and the sacred rather than the settler concepts of security and safety. I give thanks and praise to the rivers that form this Connecticut River valley, to these sand hills and the ants that dwell here and find my kitchen window so inviting, to the many birds and their dawn hymns, and to the forests: o the trees, the ferns, the damp stones and the deep deep woods, you are the mercy of the sacred in cellulose flesh.
