“Not all who wander are lost?” or is it “All who wander are not lost?” I apologize to the author. Was it Emerson or Thoreau? I know I could goggle it but I’m not going there. I am lost. Not the “good” kind reflected in this quote above. Not the getting lost the beauty of art, music, nature or love. Not the getting lost in a daydream. I’ve lost my way creatively. I’m stuck. Moving neither forward or back. It’s really frustrating, uncomfortable, exhausting and overwhelming. I’ve been here before. It goes with the territory of creative pursuit. So how do I get out of here? Perhaps wandering is the answer.
“Kate’s Find” is a piece inspired by my daughter who is a wanderer in the good sense.

This is one of my favorite pieces. I love the cross section of this shell instead of the whole, tucked into the not so round bowl. You are not lost, you’ve just hit a stop sign. Get out of the box ( easy to say), take baby steps, choose a different path, filter the negatives-all a la Stacey McKenna! And wander!!
Thanks for always being my “cheerleader”!
the more you wander . . . the stronger you get
I’ve been told the the quote reads “Not all those who wander are lost” and it’s from J.R.R. Tolkien
