My
caregiving projects are 'life-as-art' because I put into the work
I do with individuals the same ingredients that I bring to my ritual performance.
Through intention and attention, every aspect of life is potentially
sacred and every transition or problem
can be an opportunity for creativity.
I help people translate the details of their daily reality into graceful
actions. Even the anxiety of deadlines and the overwhelm of disorganization
can
be transformed through creating an ambience of trust. In this phase,
action nurtures the soul. My support includes un-cluttering matter and
mind, cleansing
space and spirits, healing through ceremonies and deep listening-in brief
responding to what is required by the moment.
It is
not art in the professionalized sense about which I care, but that
which is created sacredly, as
a result of a
deep inner
experience, with all of oneself, and that becomes "art" in
time. — Alfred Stieglitz
