A Message of Courage, Love and Hope
In an AROHO demitasse . . . we spoke about the reality of our bodies making the art that we make. What sheds off. What’s observed through the window-pane. What’s left. What’s still arriving.

Off the Moon Path by Jane Schulman
“Off the Moon Path,” by Jane Schulman Here’s the dress I wore when we met on the mountain ridge. Light through pine sparkled gold and scarlet threads. When I slip this dress over my head, I am Helios, God of the Sun, scattering clouds and shadows. For years I followed the moon path – like an eland slips behind a cypress when lions stalk or a sailor reefs the mainsail at the captain’s bark. But on Juniper Ridge my...
