Sculpt Across America

Karen Cope is traveling across North America
teaching sculpture techniques.
She was classically trained at the Florence Academy of Fine Art,
Florence, Italy, and is embarking on a grand adventure
traveling the roads in search of artists
who want to learn about sculpture.
This funny, passionate artist may be traveling to a town near you!

OK Again

A few notes about becoming a Feldenkrais Practitioner:
I was enrolled in a Feldenkrais Training Program;
but following some professional differences,
have resigned from one program
and am looking into other programs of study.
Feldenkrais Training Programs
are held all over the world;
but I am limiting my search to areas
where I am fluent in the language
can afford the tuition
can afford lodging or have friends nearby
and am greatly impressed with the instructors.

Although Milan, Italy sounded like fun,
and I've always wanted to travel to Australia.

California
here I come.

NOW I can think about wearing those socks...

OK

Still sad
bummed
gray-day
partly cloudy
down-at-the-mouth
dull
down.

But getting better:
Had been enrolled in a 4-year program
and following
differences
have resigned after 2 years.

Now
looking
searching
hoping
talking
checking
sending-out-feelers
getting a gut feeling
composing letters of introduction
and
looking
at California...

I haven't been
since 1966.
Wonder if things have changed much?

I hear it is sunny
too.

I'll let you know.

Sad

Sad
at odd hours and when doing everyday things.
Just sad.
Sadness washes over me,
crashes down around my ears
and I feel like I can't
breathe
think
smile.
Tears fill my eyes;
shopping for groceries
taking a shower
driving down the road
petting the cat
talking with friends
sleeping (!)

I've lost an opportunity
walked away from an education
-have left the building...
for my own sanity.

Sanity is good.
But I'm still
sad.

So when you see me
and see sadness
know...
I'm healing as I cry.
