"This work is unlike any other, in its range of rich, conjuring imagery and its dexterity, its smart voice. Carroll-Hackett doesn’t spare us—but doesn’t save us—she draws a blueprint of power and class with her unflinching pivot: matter-of-fact and tender." —Jan Beatty

Sometimes the Prompt is an Unbelievable Gift :-) Happy Birthday to My Son

10/14/2015

Daily Prompt

My youngest son, Dean, has a birthday today 🙂 Twenty-one years ago, my greatest teacher was born 🙂 He arrived earlier than expected, a laid back observer of the universe even as he rested swaddled in my arms 🙂  I am so awed by the man he is, smart, funny, loving, with the courage to take on his own lessons, and his Baby Buddha ability to release what should be let go. 🙂  “Chill, Mom, It’s all gonna be okay.”

Make art about the teachers in your life
