“Grief is a natural response of the heart, and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. It is not a linear trajectory and there isn’t a map that will lead you to the other side. There is no other side.” MIRABAI STARR

“Walking, I am listening to a deeper way. Suddenly all my ancestors are behind me. Be still, they say. Watch and listen. You are the result of the love of thousands.”

These were always one of my favorites that Patty Craft crafted. (Erin)

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

This line is the famous concluding line of Mary Oliver's poem "The Summer Day.” Full poem is in COMMENTS.

GO. BE. LOVE: TRIBUTE to PATTY CRAFT’s CRAFTSMANSHIP.
(Patty- January 5, 1962-February 10, 2026.)

These prayer beads were made by Patty & shipped to a friend in California. Like me, what Patty loved best about beading were the new connections which often became friendships. 💕

EXCERPT FROM ANDREA GIBSON’S WRITING

“
Remind me
all my prayers were answered
the moment I started praying
for what I already have.

Jenny says when people ask if she’s out of the woods,
she tells them she’ll never be out of the woods,
says there is something lovely about the woods.

I know how to build a survival shelter
from fallen tree branches, packed mud,
and pulled moss.

I could survive forever
on death alone.

Wasn’t it death that taught me
to stop measuring my lifespan by length,
but by width?
”
