Thank you for including me Emily! As I was sewing a skirt recently I was asking these very questions - but then realized that the hours spent creating are what matter the most to me. No matter how many times I wear the skirt, I have those hours of learning and growing and being blissfully in a flow state. It’s increasingly hard to get there in today’s hectic and fractious world, but making with my hands never fails to force the rest of the world to fall away and for time to just slide by.

This is a wonderful piece, Emily. I do ask the same question, too! But the call to create is too strong, so create we must. Your butterfly painting is beautiful - at first glance I thought it was a photograph🦋. Looking forward to see more of your magical works. And I thank you for including my avocado seeds in this read.🌿🩵
