Treasure and Dismay January 13, 2015
I went down to the basement and carefully opened a box that held a series of drawings from our special place out in the country where I once spent a lot of time.
Drawings of people from the past, the land, unchanged through the seasons.
and many more moments and memories.
and dismay....dismay
the box had sat on the floor and each drawing has a small 1/2 inch of musty mildew or mold.
Perhaps this has happened to you?
So..what to do??
I will have to cut off the edge and carefully rub some bleach over the moldy part.
Oy va voy.
So discouraging.
The drawings will need to be attended to.
Oh dear.
Has this ever happened to you??
And yet Beauty and Memory remain...Here in parting is an image of a Trillium that I carved out there years ago..and that I still print from...A lovely spring trilluim that grew at the edge of the woods.
I will stay with the image of this beauty from the woods and gather up my courage to deal with the moldy drawings in the basement and so much more...so much more
