February gathering recap

The group this month was small, but as always, it was a powerful time together. We opened with a free write on a valentine memory. It was wild how each of us remembered those little mail boxes we made in grade school and the experience of sharing the tear-apart cards. We were reminded that although our past experiences may be times of joy or pain each is still "nothing more than a moment in time."

The change in venue this month gave us the opportunity to interact through our writing with the artwork at Common Grounds. We were each drawn to a different piece. As we shared our writing, we discovered that sometimes the background is more impacting than the item in focus, the ordinary can bring to mind powerful lessons from the past, and the value can be the journey and not just the destination.

Thanks for the priviledge of pursuing this gift of writing with you. See you next month. -deb
