Wow!  The opening of the Art and Science exhibit at the CSU Curfman Gallery last night was fabulous: ‘great to see such a turn out (including so many dear friends)!  The show runs through March 24: take it in.  I intend to go back and visit with the art the way I visited with the people last night.  I am fascinated not only with each piece but also with how the overall exhibit is a work of art in itself. 

Now, on to the next note . . .

I don’t regret my life (not that I am done yet), but if I could do some parts of it over, I would study (academically) the connection between writing and healing/coping/living full (like the Hospice program Nancy and Roni created and curated for years; like the Writing in Prisons project orchestrated by my colleague Tobi).  

I want more proof, I want more truth about what I know. 

I think this would be an interdisciplinary study through English, Human Development and Family Studies, Psychology . . .

Here is a link to an NPR story about the possibilities for making every day—even if you are blessed with many of them--count through POETRY (of all things!):  http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/02/20/514558968/can-poetry-keep-you-young-science-is-still-out-but-the-heart-says-yes

And don’t even get me started on the healing properties of knitting!
