We've long lived with a Beatrice Wood bowl; we've admired her pottery for years. But when we visited her Ojai, CA home, we ended up taking home one of her sketches. It's moving, partly because of its inscription--both the title "Frightened of her dreams" and the fragility of the handwriting. She was 104 years old when she inscribed/made the sketch. If I live that long, I hope not to be fearful and fragile but always be in a celebratory mood for each additional day. But what do I/we know? Life is fragile...
