 I found some drawings I had stored away in Port Washington, two are monoprints, two are mandalas,  and one an illustration from The Dream Jar.

First steps are hard  (Twyla Tharp)“We believe our ancestors are watching us, even if we do not see them,” Sina Koy said.  “It was because of the spirits of the ancestors inside me that I became a dancer.” .”  For it so happens that I have never been able to convince myself the dead are utterly dead.  I admire rational people and envy their clear heads, but what’s the use of kidding? (Saul Bellow)
