Since the winter session of Sark's Dream Boogie began on Feb.1st, I thought that I would honor Sark with a butterfly. I finger painted the wings, and had an absolute blast doing so! That kind of joyful, childlike creativity is so much a part of the spirit of Sark. The photo of her was taken at a workshop I attended a few years ago. At that same workshop, Sark made us name tags with tie- died ribbon. I used a bit of that ribbon to create her antennae for this butterfly.
Words can't begin to express my gratitude to Sark (AKA: Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy.) I've learned so much from her books, classes and work shops, and if I had to encapsulate and concentrate the most important lessons, I would have to say that she gave me the courage to experiment boldly with creativity in all areas of my life. I am considered to be a bit of an "odd duck" and "a black sheep." In the past I felt unacceptable, but now I wear these quirky titles like badges of honor and fly my freak flag with pride!
On the back of the butterfly I wrote one of my favorite Sark quotes:
"You are seen. You are known. You are loved!"
SARK makes the perfect butterfly. It definitely fits her personality. Thank goodness for us odd ducks! We make other people look boring.
