Sometimes I’m able to see how lucky I am, sometimes not. That’ s the nature of diseases of the mind. Or perhaps that’s a good thing, one balancing the other. This afternoon, I see how blessed I am, how lucky to have my family, Maria, the dogs, my work, photography. I am excited to be heading off to Glens Falls to teach my first story-telling workshop (the proceeds of tuition go to LARAC, the Lower Adirondack Regional Arts Center). Izzy is coming. This photo tells a story, and it’s a bit mysterious to me, the coming together of these dogs to mark my life. The flap copy came in for “Rose In A Storm” and I love it. It refers to the “celebrated Bedlam Farm.” Hmm. Might not be a place to move away from.
