CFD Director’s Message 10.11.23

“Each morning we awaken to the light and the invitation to a new day in the world of time; each night we surrender to the dark to be taken to play in the world of dreams where time is no more. At birth we were awakened and emerged to become visible in the world. At death we will surrender again to the dark to become invisible. Awakening and surrender: they frame each day and each life; between them the journey where anything can happen, the beauty and the frailty.” John O’Donohue

Intergenerational Art Journaling
Deb and Macey will host an art journaling group at the UUFM Fellowship Hall on Wednesday, October 25th, from 6:30-8pm. If you’re confused and not sure what art journaling is exactly, you may consider peeking at this link that comes up on a quick Google search: How To Start An Art Journal: A Complete Beginner’s Guide – Artful Haven

The short answer is that an art journal is a visual diary for you to express yourself in whatever way suits you. It can be deeply emotional or light and fun, as you play and experiment with materials.

Some supplies will be available, but you are welcome to bring your own. I would also be grateful for donations of extra materials!
