It's just YOU. And I had no idea you had taught those classes - fascinating. I learn something new about you with each blog post! And once you're settled again I'm sure we'll be hearing all about your new adventures.christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991148606497381478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-14885490535824204402009-11-11T13:03:29.606+01:002009-11-11T13:03:29.606+01:00T1: I won't be living in AMS, Kim, but in nea...T1: I won't be living in AMS, Kim, but in nearby Gorinchem. I'm sure we'll get to AMS from time to time. However, we are eager to travel to all the other cities, too! :) I can hardly wait.<br /><br />Mad: You are so right...and wise! I think it's the connection to Mother Earth that connects me to our Native Americans. I hate it that we haven't learned from them!<br /><br />SA: I really like how you have said this, Linda. As I dwindle down to the bare minimum, my Hart & Soul are still very much in tact. I have no sorrow or pining away for what I have let go. That tells me everything I need to know. It helps, of course, that once I went through a fire and lost everything! At least now I get to pick and choose. :)<br /><br />CS: I can hardly wait to see you again. Please stay in touch and let me know when you will be back in AMS. You know I will do my best to meet up with you again...and maybe Astrid can meet you as well!Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-4175841357745370702009-11-05T18:19:56.312+01:002009-11-05T18:19:56.312+01:00Oh Ginnie, these are all great!

I can see you in each and every one of them, but I must say, the last one - and the one you have decided to keep - is the one that caught my attention the most. I'm also so happy that you are moving to your new home in Holland soon. It will give us a chance to meet and catch up. I've got so much to tell you (all good) Take care, my friend!CanadianSwisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07643821249467079199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-74731828611792666532009-11-05T15:06:08.464+01:002009-11-05T15:06:08.464+01:00Ginnie,
Thank you so much for the mention, and fo...Ginnie,<br /><br />Thank you so much for the mention, and for such a wonderful post. <br /><br />I'm glad the Woman is going with you - she certainly would be my choice, and the thought of seeing her in her new place makes me smile.<br /><br />It's a fact that all of life is a process of shedding accretions. There are possessions I think of fondly, wishing I had them again, but there came a time when I'd moved on, and the part of my life they represented no longer was living and vibrant.<br /><br />I think of my time in Africa particularly. I once had bags of trade beads, piles of cloth, artifacts of every kind. Eventually I gave them away and now have a half-dozen of this, an example of that. But those tokens are enough - they're the favorites, after all, and capable of evoking all the rich memories I could wish for.<br /><br />The truth is when you look at the Wolf Woman, you'll see the other bronzes as well. The choice is part of your history now - and remembering our choices sometimes is the best part of looking back.shoreacreshttp://shoreacres.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-79905687367263157682009-10-30T07:05:55.957+01:002009-10-30T07:05:55.957+01:00All 3 are stunning and I can see why they spoke to...All 3 are stunning and I can see why they spoke to your Soul. I, too, have felt a connection to Native American philosophy...more than my own ancestry...but no matter what connection or even disconnect, we all need to continue gathering wisdom throughout our journey.madretzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07773461029643334609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-62009741916457638792009-10-29T18:11:12.743+01:002009-10-29T18:11:12.743+01:00Oh my.... how did I miss the whole moving to Holla...Oh my.... how did I miss the whole moving to Holland thing??????

Oh ...Ruth: First of all, you got me at Lady Jane. Oh my! Talk about all <i>those</i> memories! Thank you for knowing how these possessions reach my soul. I remember when I bought them thinking it didn't matter how much they cost. They were priceless to me. They were totally worth whatever they cost. Little did I know then that I would now choose between them. But there seems to be a symbolism in the act of doing so, which I ponder in my heart.<br /><br />Astrid: Yes, Mijn Liefste, we already know where it will go and I can picture it in my mind's eye. Thank you for your support and acceptance of that which is important to me. You know me so well. And yes, she will help us dance with the wolves, for sure!<br /><br />PC: You would be amazed at the detail, Maria, I know. To think you might be in Amsterdam around the same time I will be is serendipitous, even if we end up not seeing each other. Let's make sure we at least know the specific dates, once we know them. I still have to wait on the refi closing date before I can book my ticket.<br /><br />Sham: It really intrigues me how we all go through life in our own souls in ways that are not the same for each other. Thank God! Mark Hopkins makes usually only 500 of these bronzes in his limited editions. If everyone loved them, they'd be totally unavailable to the rest of us, costing way too much! I understand, of course, because there is lots of art I can appreciate but which I would not want in my space. I guess this is what makes the world go 'round?! Thanks for sharing so honestly.<br /><br />ET: I was able to meet up with the man and his wife and spend several minutes sharing my Journey. They know why the bronzes were important to me and I now know why they are important to them. So you are right...I couldn't have asked for a better home for them!<br /><br />Renny: Thank you for your support! It means the world to me. And if we don't see you in Oslo next August, we WILL see you and Diane, Tor and Anna, one day soon, I know! :)Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-9251498415773467312009-10-29T09:11:59.155+01:002009-10-29T09:11:59.155+01:00Lovely story telling a lot about caring you Ginnie...Lovely story telling a lot about caring you Ginnie!<br /><br />I really support you in you pick - a great choice :-)RennyBA's Terellahttp://www.terella.nonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-20473194076271835672009-10-29T00:54:52.238+01:002009-10-29T00:54:52.238+01:00What a great story and I too am glad the other bro...What a great story and I too am glad the other bronzes found a home, just as you have found another. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09455800980666388178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-46931607715623411972009-10-28T23:02:05.644+01:002009-10-28T23:02:05.644+01:00These bronze sculptures obviously meant so much to...These bronze sculptures obviously meant so much to you in your journey through life. And I am so happy for you, that the two you have decided not to take with you are going to a new home where they will be appreciated. And the one that will stay with you will be welcomed by your new partner and given a place of importance.<br />However, I don't think I could live with these bronzes. They make me feel uncomfortable. They are not of my culture. They are certainly wonderfully detailed works of art, and have so much depth and meaning and character, but I don't think I could wake up every morning and enjoy it's presence in my house. Funny how we are all so different.Shammickitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969803866899076638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-40423456266776372282009-10-28T22:07:45.209+01:002009-10-28T22:07:45.209+01:00the gathering wisdom is absolutely beautiful. i th...the gathering wisdom is absolutely beautiful. i think it spoke to my soul. <br /><br />goodluck on your move. next month i believe i have a brief stopover in amsterdam and that's probably the most i'll see of the city.<br /><br />MroyPhoto Cachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17734663922538063553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-92183649039238441862009-10-28T21:14:33.108+01:002009-10-28T21:14:33.108+01:00Lieve schat, I think you picked wise and it will l...Lieve schat, I think you picked wise and it will look good in the apartment, we already know where it will stand.<br />It is always fascinating to hear you talk about the bronzes.<br />I am glad the other two found a true home, like the third bronze will find a true home here in the Netherlands.<br />Like I said before today, this kind of reminds me of .....Dancing with the wolves, a great movie.<br />IHVJAstridhttp://www.picturit.shutterchance.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-68143214652653698752009-10-27T20:41:30.469+01:002009-10-27T20:41:30.469+01:00Wow, Boots, this was soooo wonderful.

I've heard you talk about them of course, but the details here are beautiful. I love the image of you gathering bones, how striking and deep.<br /><br />Lovely, Lady Jane.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.com
