Alright…so, the last fifty pages of  “Moby Dick” are churning up everything in me that gets excited about writing, nature, humanity and strength of human spirit, adventure and art!  I knew that there was some reason I was drawn to this VERY difficult read!  Ahab is presently suffering the apparent blows of a whale with WILL!  It is a superb challenge that is going on at this point…unbelievable!  It took 430 pages to bring me to this magical place!  But….I am here!  Engaged!  Challenged! Thoughtful!

One year I considered organizing a group exhibit with my Grade Nine art students.  At the time, I spoke to them about the demise of the Beluga Whales of the St. Lawrence seaway.  I demonstrated and talked about, at length, my process.  And then….we made art!  The exhibit has never happened…but, I hold on to the future possibility.
