"Surely all art is the result of one's having been in danger, of having gone
through an experience all the way to the end, where no one can go any
further." -rilke
you ought to publish a collection of superb quotes for artists!

I guess that's why I'm having a hard time doing a memorial piece. I haven't experienced death or losing someone that close, I guess I look from the other side of it and dread the experience rather than identify.

Thanks for the reminder.
hi keri,
i just read a gorgeous short story that speaks of this... have you read "the shell collector" by anthony doerr? AMAZING short story collection. i savored every one. and the last one is about going to the end, and (in the stories case) taking one more step.
good luck!

In other words, if you are going through hell...don't stop.
Sending you buckets of bravery and a bouquet of fragrant red roses on this mothers day.
Love,
