Inspiration
I’m a week behind. This post should have been written last week. So, two post this week.
I’ve been spending a lot of mental energy thinking about and planning my final project for this class. It’s going to be a fiber project. I’ve know that since the first day of class. I thought I was going to do a small quilt but that idea has changed into something else that I’m not ready to give too many details about yet. There’s a kind of supersition for me about talking too much about a project before I really get into it. I think it’s got something to do with energy…that if I talk too much about it I release the internal energy I need to make it a reality.
I do have a picture though of one piece of the process:
When my current project idea came to me, I was excited about the challenge of making my idea into reality. But our assigned reading for last week - Chapter 7 - Argentina and Chile: Resisting Repression from A Force More Powerful provided the extra bit of inspiration I needed to know I’m on the right track. Each movment we have read about so far has touched me, but none has touched me as deeply as the movement of Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo.
My project will be grounded in what I have learned about these very brave women.
