&#8220;Fall greetings from Pamela&#8221;  



















 
 
Group Poem  
Autumn Labyrinth Walk 2009
 
Still, I stand.
Smiling earthbound bubble, light as a feather
Adding new dimensions to my life.
A clearing; yellow diamonds
Infinite, joyous, journey; my time for Joy and abundance.
Gratitude powers my flight and frees me.
Momentum, miniature, unknown 
Winged windows open to the hearts core.
 




 




Greetings from [...]]]></description>

<p align="left"><strong>Greetings from Pamela</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong> </strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong>   </strong>   Thanks is given to all who came Saturday to support and  view my show of recent paintings and mixed media entitled &#8220;Image as Companion&#8221;.   There was a fabulous turn sddout!   This is my first one woman show since our home and studio burned down in the 2003 Cedar Wildfires.</p>
<p align="left">The show will hang through November 7 when there will be a closing reception and Salon Talk called &#8220;Living with Images as Companions&#8221;.  I hope to see you there!</p>
<p align="left"> <a title="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102734624292&amp;s=1&amp;e=001DgcshzghJ8P7JjEYCegiThfWyVQ8uogd_1rPYCB8Vexq7NtxgnDlNUdkg3I9HtSi0gW0I-CMbrrEERnEXhzpuKKVwS4qm0jjPxA5wNqcxdSAfGl3Mryp8jAmMDSJhb4z" href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102734624292&amp;s=1&amp;e=001DgcshzghJ8P7JjEYCegiThfWyVQ8uogd_1rPYCB8Vexq7NtxgnDlNUdkg3I9HtSi0gW0I-CMbrrEERnEXhzpuKKVwS4qm0jjPxA5wNqcxdSAfGl3Mryp8jAmMDSJhb4z" target="_blank">Click here for event calendar</a>       </p>
<p align="left">       If you are weary of hearing about &#8220;Pamela&#8217;s life according to fires&#8221;, you might want to skip this part.  I too feel weary when I hear myself, AGAIN, tracking my life on the &#8216;fire timeline&#8217;.  But, this is the way that I have moved forward. </p>
<p align="left">       My last comprehensive shows were fifteen years ago.  This blew me away when I realized this!  After the dust settled from these three shows, I worked consistently to build a fresh, new body of workThe newly framed work was hung in the house. Then our first  fire swept through. The interior fire began in the kitchen and traveled from room to room along the dry wooden ceiling and down the walls.  The new art work was quickly reduced to ash. These virgin pieces had never been shown.  After we rebuilt, I began work creating new art once again. There were some very large paintings; paintings of crows, babies, yoni rocks, exciting paintings that were loyal companions while I earned a master&#8217;s degree and survived the challenging years of my teenagers.  Whew! Life was good!  <br />
       And then the Cedar Fire passed through and devoured all of that work&#8230;my masters thesis, the rebuilt house and studio too. </p>
<p align="left">       So, here we are, five years later.  I have again worked hard to build a new body of work<em>&#8230;</em> and thankfully it now hangs, safe and sound, downtown at San Diego&#8217;s  &#8221;Ink Spot Gallery Space&#8221;.   </p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><strong>The gallery space is only open during events.  However, let me know if you want to join a group for a private showing October 26.  On November 7 from 5:00pm-7:30pm there will also be a Salon Talk about the process of developing relationships with images that emerge.  </strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong>Mark your calendar!</strong><strong><br />

<p align="left"><strong>ANECDOTE OF AN </strong><strong>ISOLATED LOSS</strong></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Some losses from our fires have been brought to my attention on a &#8221;need to know&#8221; basis only. </p>
<p align="left">A small yet profound </p>
<p align="left">example of how this shows up in my life came just the other day.  My sister called from Texas with this thoughtful idea, &#8220;While we are visiting, let&#8217;s all </p>
<p align="left">make Grandma Meme&#8217;s famous Santa Claus cookies&#8221;.  I had forgotten that the fire took  also took this rual.  As I sat on the studio stairs listening,</p>
<p align="left">a teary nostalgia was activated in my body, then the familiar pangs; sadness for the loss of yet another family recipe, guilt over the loss of the deep red, worn cookie cutters and  thanks for the ritual that had supported our family </p>
<p align="left">for many  years.  The sweet part is that </p>
<p align="left">Meme&#8217;s Santa Claus Cookie story still lives in so many hearts.</p>

<p align="left"><strong>This is October,</strong> the season for &#8220;high fire alert&#8221; in Southern California.  So, we keep our senses in &#8221;high sensitivity&#8221; mode. It&#8217;s a good practice for every season.  </p>
<p align="left">But, most of all  it is the season for gathering our <br />
resources for the winter and to harvest seeds we have sown.  It is the season to remember  and honor  those  loved ones or things that are lost, stolen or missing.   </p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">Fall beckons us to take the time to notice and acknowledge the blessings and challenges in our lives.  Only then  will we truly be ready to go into the rich darkness of  winter season.  </p>
