Mankle is healed.  yesterday i went out without a wheelchair!!  i used an old favorite black cane, well worn and muddled with confused emotions, mostly emotions of FREEDOM....  then after listening to a local artist couple give a talk, which was good, and so was their work, i even went out to dinner...  holy moses wild woman me!  so it is that i am feeling tall, and bold, and unafraid.  i have been spending lots of time in my studio, and now that i become busier with the everydayness of life i will look for some more minutes to be with me.  i am working on 2 big paintings, leaning into ugliness crossed with beauty, going in the spiral between what is good and what is bad, where the rules become invisible, where i am allowed to get totally lost, where there is silence beyond quiet, where the light shines below, so brightly yet that quiet insistence that beauty can become more infinite than what i can ever imbue into a painting... or trying to remember the depth that we have come from.

Well today is different. Mankle bones have fused with graft. I learn walking again, I am now robin two step. Some weeks or months will go by while I spend time learning what most of you already know, aha... and the amazing grace that I have been ordained to always remember, a new gracious way.
