RE: Impressions of the Third Grade: Collage Community Contest #1
My dear Anna,
Such a thoughtful insightful comment. Thank you so much for visiting and for appreciating my collage.
You are right, I was lucky as a child. The third grade teacher was wonderful. Kind, gentle and smart. Just in time 😄
A personal narrative is kind of risky...reveals a lot. But at my age, what do I have to lose? 😂
I think art is wonderful...it expresses emotions viscerally, communicates in a way words do not. Which is one reason your blogs are always so stimulating. I don't think I've read one without following a lead on an idea that was sparked. Wait till you see my response to your comment today. A spark storm!
Empathy knows no borders, physical or intellectual. Our friendship is demonstration of that.
With regard and warm affection,
Your friend from across the sea,
AG
Dear AG,
After a busy day I finally get to respond to your inspiring comments.
The story of your childhood has touched me. It has also put the image I had of your origin in place. I like to read personal things from others, but I am rather reluctant to reveal my own personal story. An imbalance, I know. But even in real life I don't 'wear my heart on my sleeve'.
You're right, art is something beautiful. Creatively expressed thoughts and feelings, a language that doesn't need words. I'm very happy that my posts invite you to reflect. Your thoughts are then again a source of inspiration for me. So the circle is complete. 🌷(I wonder where to the color of the emojis has disappeared. 🤔 Edit: It's back now!)
Now I have to take a quick look at your spark storm on my last blog ... 😃
See you soon! 🌼
