Details

To honor Barbara Whitesides Peña, whose body could no longer contain the magnificence of her spirit.

We will remember her and in remembering, create. Bring a project or let the spirit guide your hand over a blank page or canvas.

If you're looking for inspiration:
Barb was particularly fond of the haibun, which is a short poem or bit of prose attached to, or resolved by, a haiku. She also loved the sea and the natural world.

From Barb's last shared poem, "grief calls (a haibun)":

for I wade in puddles
where irises bloom year round and cats live for decades
listening to your laughter as you throw your head back
and watching as we share a dance of fear and justice for all
