How strange. I was looking at all my art work (to select a photo for this blog) and it suddenly occurs to me how isolating all my work has been. How egocentric they have been. Gulp. I couldn’t weave, I could only make isolated pieces and put them together.

Friendship requires a sense of acceptance of our own selves truly in our own unique, individual spaces before we can be confident to truly engage. This makes contemplation or spaces of solitude equally as important as spaces of celebration or togetherness or in community.

So space is a very important consideration to foster good and robust friendships.
