Piece in the Middle East

A piece of me was in Israel even before I got here—a cookie jar I made after I survived cancer that survived Mary’s move here 7 years ago.

A few days before  I came to visit,  Mary asked if I would show her how to do mosaics—by the time I arrived this evolved into a workshop for 20 women.

Such a deal:   I brought my mosaic expertise; they brought chocolate.


Even better than chocolate was seeing the range of creative ideas–

watching each woman make her own piece—

and sharing the peace I’ve found in art with some of the wonderful people I’ve met here.

I love the idea that I’ll be leaving another piece of myself in Israel.
