“Do stuff. Be clenched, curious. Not waiting for inspiration’s shove or society’s kiss on your forehead. Pay attention. It’s all about paying attention. Attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. Stay eager.” ~ Susan Sontag
I got an early Christmas surprise. My friend, Bonita Skaggs-Parsons, made a Hillbilly Santa and Mrs. Santa for my Christmas tree. You might remember Bonita as the fantastic artist that makes a variety of artworks from newspapers. In the package she also enclosed a sweet note and a surprise necklace and earring set of hand-made Christmas mice (they’re newspaper, too!). Even the package was creatively adorned with snowflake duct tape. I just adore Bonita. She’s even cooler than the art she makes, and that’s tough to do.
