\"\"<\/a>The theme of Surviving Abundance is one I have looked at through my art over and over through the decades.\u00a0 I keep coming back to this idea in my life and in my work, each time seeing a different side a different angle holding the thing up to a different light.\u00a0 In my twenties my thoughts about surviving abundance was about overwhelm, over commitment, over stretched and overly emotional.\u00a0 Now I see it in a softer light, although overwhelm is sometimes mixed in it is not what defines the time. I am more able to hold the fruits of responsibility and commitment and recognize the bounty within. As with the persimmons on the tree,\u00a0 I allow myself to put some of the harvest in a basket to wait, some can be cooked up right away, and some I even let drop to the ground.\u00a0 My husband and son can testify to the fact that I still struggle with over commitment sometimes, and when I\u2019m in it my Lion self roars at the ones I love the most.\u00a0 But the Lion spends more time basking in the sun these days, less time pacing the cage.\u00a0 As I continue to grow and change and I keep confronting the same issues on my upward spiral of life but hopefully with a new perspective each time.\u00a0 And so the beautiful persimmon tree teaches me the lesson each winter that you cannot do it all.\u00a0 The weight can be too much and it is both prudent but wise to let things drop.\u00a0 Not everything needs to be used, processed, managed; handled, controlled…. My guide is the persimmon tree standing in the long light of winter bare of leaves while bearing fruit nonetheless, rare and singular beauty her most important offering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
