distracted by sparkly things since 1969

Unravelling: You, Distilled

unravellingfeetmosaic

This is the last week of my photo-journaling course with Susannah Conway. Her course, Unravelling, is all about connecting with the real you. I feel pretty connected to the real me, seeing as I am wont to be obsessive-compulsively self-reflect all on my very own. But I wanted to be prompted towards photography, and I’m (as ever) on a quest to make peace my with rebellious body. Unravelling helped me move forward in both of those worlds, and I am grateful.

Our last assignment was rich and multi-layered. I chose to fulfill it by writing a list of 40 Things About Moi, and by making this photo mosaic. Somehow I think my shoes (or lack thereof) say a lot about me and the wide curious creature who lives inside— ”distracted by sparkly things” yet strangely “the solid that is the center.”

Susannah’s courses sell out fast, so if these posts make you curious, be sure to sign up for her mailing list so you will be aware when the next series comes around. Thank you, Susannah and the Uravellers, for letting my world grow “curiouser and curiouser.”

I have had a “crush” on Susannah, and wanted to take her course, but your posts have made me thirst for it. I can hardly wait … it will be in the not-too-distant future. Wonderful, pictures that “sparkle” in the mind’s eye, on visual contact. I love that, on completion of this course, one has told a story of oneself, to oneself. Clever. Liberating.

I took the course the first time it was offered and it continues to resonate with me. Susannah is immensely talented and has a gift for bringing out of us what we need at the time. I can’t wait for the “Further” class later this year! Glad you’ve enjoyed yourself. I’ve enjoyed reading about you enjoying yourself :)
