I’m packing for Boston, eager to see Ellen Rolli again and to paint with her. I’ll send an update during the five days I’m there, but meanwhile, your homework is to watch this nine-minute film about Paulus Berenson, craftsman, pottery maker, environmentalist. This is what poet Mary Oliver says about him:
“Paulus Berensohn, whether he’s speaking, slowly and thoughtfully as he does, or just smiling, is a gift. With his presence, life takes on a new radiance and energy. He teaches. He shines.”
—-Mary Oliver

After you’ve seen the film, treat yourself to some inspirational “dessert” by looking through India Flint’s blog. I think you’ll see a visual and philosophical connection. Art is life. Life is good. 🙂
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This has been the most inspirational nine minutes of my morning.
Dora, I’m so glad – I had the same reaction! I ordered his book from 1972 🙂
So happy that Paulus has made his way in to your life. Blessings on your trip! xo Suzi
