(Tuesday, December 16, 2025)
Yesterday afternoon I went to Susan’s dream group. I was a bit nervous because her members are brilliant and very engaged. But I had a lovely time. I sat next to Patty, whom I met at the first seasonal meeting. She has taught writing at Metropolitan State University and The Loft for over 20 years. Patty has six published books and is working on publishing a children’s book “of five hundred words.” Sylvia is a professional dancer. Hend is an amazing artist who had a beautiful display at the MIA last fall (which I saw with Wyn and Oona).
This synchronicity: I have been hoping to do a hermitage, maybe at ARC. Susan just got back from a spiritual retreat in Iowa. And everyone in the group pays as much attention to Michael Meade’s “The Living Myth” podcasts as I do. We talked about the one I listened to recently called “Importance of the Otherworld.” Another connection is that dream member Jessica is heading to New Mexico with her husband to take a class at the Ghost Ranch, Georgia O’Keefe’s historic property. She was at the Tucson IASD conference, but I don’t recognize her. I took multiple clay classes in Santa Fe.
From Bonnie: I am so happy for you to have these amazing women in your life!
