This is the beginning project that will include essays, narrative prose, poetry and artwork. I hope to form this collection into a series.  I'd like to spend time looking at grief and loss and how we, as a culture, tend to move through it. It will be a discovery process for me. I don't have an idea of how long it will take or where it will go exactly. Today is only a beginning. What I do know is that grief and loss are a universal experience. I have come to believe also that, while it's a universal experience, it is most often not done well in our culture.  I'd like to learn how to do it better. I'm using art as a beginning point for learning and expressing as well as working through grief. I'll create art as a process and then will write something that fleshes that artwork out more fully. I hope you'll consider following along. I think the content will have the potential to be helpful to many people, especially as we are collectively grieving a year of loss
