Staying Power #164: A Riff on "The Sacred Space of My Zoom Set"
Enter my sanctuary!
Here’s another “riff”—an unrehearsed “quiet musing out loud” on a particular theme. I hope you’ll respond by sharing your own musings with me and other Rafters in the comments.
While we’re talking about the sacred space of Zooming, let me invite you again to one of these regular (free) Zooms on The Raft:
Poetry Pick-Me-Up (Thursdays, 12-1PM Central). A casual poetry-sharing and discussion group. Bring a poem written by someone other than yourself to read to the group. Or, just come to listen to the poems offered by other Rafters and to participate in informal but wholehearted conversation about them. Hop on the Zoom at this link.
Creatives’ Coffee (every other Wednesday, 4-5:00PM Central). Casual conversation among Rafters who view life as a creative practice. Many of us also like to “make stuff,” whether for fun or as a profession. Need companionship and support? Inspiration? Cross-fertilization of ideas? You’ll find oodles of all this and more. Hop on the Zoom at this link.

Phyllis, your riff helps me to slow down — and think —- about my studio space. What a delight to hear about the sacred objects behind you. I’ve wondered about their significance. Thank you for sharing the stories about what your “true spot” means to you.
Wow, I loved the descriptions of your space. I requested the book about your Columbus experience of living on the streets and now the candles will hold more meaning. The stitching on that quilt has always caught my eye. I loved this riff. I also am surrounded by items made by family members, wood furniture, a crewel embroidery. Handmade speaks to me.
