Today is December 11, 2008...which means we have nine days...eight more days I guess :-) to get ready for our gallery show and finish the second issue of Kids Love Arts. We've been working really hard on it lately, three days straight with naps in between...lovely, beautiful magazine production.
If it weren't for the kids amazing, beautiful artwork and poems "i touch heaven...i touch the sea...i worry about my mom...i cry that i can't see my dad...i am cool...i say what's up...i try to be nice...i hope one day i see my dad..."if it weren't for that and knowing how happy they will be to see their work in print...the way that that one thing will change their lives and impress them with their own power...i don't know if could bare the stress and the sleepless nights.
Maribel is really the one with the hardest job though, designing and organizing the images and the look...with the pressure of the last publication on her mind (i dont' know that, i'm just saying i might feel that way if i were her). I just try to keep cafe con leche and good treats and food flowing :-) it's better than learning how to use a mac...
It's amazing though the way the children's work, our initial concepts about the curriculum for classes and of course Betty Ann's ideas and attitudes about love and giving back have come together to be one thing.
It's all very genuine. The more I live the more I see how necessary that is for real positive, sustained movement. I thank God and marvel that a lot of great things, ideas, concepts, prayers, love and people have aligned to make something really, really, really beautiful :-) K
