We never know what lies within or beneath or behind the faces we see unless and until it's brought forth. A friend of mine has often used a signature line of a quote I know I won't get right but its message to me is to always be kind for we have no idea the load another carries but it's always way more than we can see. I'm reminded of that today reading this because I had blithely said in my own blog I was green with envy that you had gotten to participate in Creative Dig with no idea how very much you might have truly needed it or the weight of the baggage you had to carry there. I'm humbled. Thank you for your revelation of self so beautifully unfolded. We never know what lies within or beneath or behind the faces we see unless and until it’s brought forth.

I am remembering a lesson in Psychology from my college days. My professor explaining our subconscious and our conscious. Our subconscious is huge, bigger than our conscious, this you know, and causes our reactions to certain situations to not always be what we think it should be. We are not conscious as to why, because the inborn reaction has come from our subconscious. Our professor explained it like an ice berg. You see the ice burg and how massive it is on top of the water, however it is four times that size underneath the water level. The lower part holding up the part above water. I have always said when we are in the right spot mentally and spiritually the BEST of our unconscious comes forth and heals us.(sometimes we the worst can come forth this we know as well). Seeing you hold that little boys face in your hands is the perfect visual example to my theory. I am thankful for you. Always. Your strength is glorious.

On my flight back home to AZ, I played around with all the photos I took at the workshop. I kept coming back to this one of you...and also to a close up I took of your mask. I didn't even know at the time, that that mask was yours...but it has such a magical element to it, I thought...and I created multiple images of it through cropping and changing the color. Now I understand much more clearer. I understand the power Art has to communicate..to connect...to create closure..as well as to commemorate new beginnings. Thank you for sharing so much of your beautiful self, life, and experience with me. I have grown in great leaps, just by knowing you. Peace & Love. Dear Heather,

The clay face is truly Divinely Inspired. As if Matthew breathed a bit of himself into your hands and then into the clay. He is with you always, he seems to be clearly stating. And thank you, Heather, for our time together after the Dig. I will be thinking of that and processing all that we talked about for many days to come.
