Very cute to see an eclipse last fall in Albuquerque, very cute to be a human bean and to have luminaries above you.

The shadow work, the light on our path, our conditioning, the primal needs, the predictability in the midst of mystery, the letting go, the darkening luminary, the contrast, the paradox.

Annie was the best to make art with, still is.

She was a bit shy and awkward but willing and permissive and appreciative and funny. I’d worked with her before we were in each others Provo/Orem orbit. In 2017, after quitting a year-long day jo
