With a midway exhibit approaching for my MFA-IA program, and me needing to propose something for that exhibit, my thoughts keep gravitating to time as a student at Naropa University and the impact writing things down has on our consciousness. In 7th grade I wrote, for a class assignment, that I wanted to be a professional trumpet player. I don’t remember if I wrote any more details than pro trumpet player. That writing has manifested in interesting ways, with developments still to be worked on. I went into Naropa with the intentions of wanting to deepen my yoga practice and start a student group for social dancing. No details about how, simply the thoughts and aspirations. I have a sketchbook and many ideas have been recorded in that book. Now to see what manifests with the complexities of life that were not present when I was a seventh grader, and needing to be more detail oriented while in a masters program. Photo by Marc Piscotty.
