Hello Genesis-ers,
This is my second effort to post...the first somehow was lost and I probably won't be able to recall all of my thoughts from the day. So...trying to shake off the frustration of having lost what was written and having to begin fresh, I'll just say what a great day it was to spend with you all today! We were all like worker bees, unloading the cars, laying down our "romper room" puzzle floor atop the concrete, and situating other "stuff" into our new Genesis home space. The gallery, Sea and Space Explorations is a welcoming room with big storefront windows and heavy checkered curtains. We discovered that the floor has a slight rake ( sloping downward on a slant) one of the unique qualities of the room. There is also a crown of "fairy lights" (better known as holiday or Xmas lights), draping over the exposed wooden ceiling beams. Liz introduced us to this delightful UK expression. Some of the highpoints of the day for me were the wonderful meal we shared, prepared with obvious love by Hana. Thanks Hana! The way that we all bonded so immediately, diving right in...the moments of laughter, giggles and thoughtful exchanges. I loved the ritual cleansing of the space, washing the floor which was done with simplicity and purpose. It reminded me of the Buddhist saying, "carry water, chop wood"...just doing some simple task with attention and presence. Thanks Liz for offering that today.
May the week be full of exciting and soulful exploration as we launch into our independence. I look forward to touching base with you all during our transitions in the space, through our writings and our communal gatherings. Cheryl
