We've been depositing spirit animals all over the downtown area in the past few weeks. Wolves, bears, mountain lions, catfish, even a drunken turkey. It's been a bit of a blur. This happens on occasion: the giving away becomes a whirlwind and overshadows the documentation. That's because finding homes for the animals is fun and games, but writing about it is work.
Don't worry, some of us are worker bees. And the fact is, we've been working on some other ceramic side projects: light pulls that look like hands, hanging baskets for succulents, ornaments, wind chimes, little keychain houses... but the animals are returning in full force soon enough.
Because solstice is coming. The idea that we are reaching a point where the light and darkness are perfectly balanced is a big deal. We could use a little balance over here. As the darkness grows, we are considering hibernation. Or migration? Something. Bottom line: If you found a spirit animal in the past few weeks, you're on your own. Is it yours? Does it belong to someone else? Your call. This is a community art project. And you, good folks, are the community.
Back to it, Spirit People!
Part community art project, part spiritual journey-- because beasts are everywhere, and we're all a little animal.
