Honoring the Artist Within
She Was Chicken, but She Crossed the Road Anyway (detail)
Copyright 2009 Janet Hovde
For those of you who live near Minneapolis-St. Paul, you are invited to Honoring the Inner Artist, a talk I am doing for Minnesota Contemporary Quilters on Monday, April 28, at 6:30 p.m. at the Textile Center. I will talk about my spiritual practices, healing, and artmaking, with LOTS of show and tell of my work. I believe the guest fee for coming to one meeting is $5. The Textile Center is at 3000 University Avenue SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414, with map and directions here. Haiku of the week regarding my experience recovering from breast cancer:
You’ve told me what can
Go wrong. Now please tell me the
Best case scenario.
As always, I invite you to comment and/or to write your own haiku (3 lines: 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables) about the topic of your choice. See Healer Becomes Heal-ee for more description about my process of using this form of poetry to process my breast cancer recovery.

Why can’t I live near
Your chicken is amazing
I want to see her
Can I just ditto Kelly’s haiku and comment? Would love to live closer and be a part…
Hope it goes well!
Love your chicken chi!
Love best case scenarios.
Love your art quilts too.
Wish I could make it to your talk – sounds wonderful!
Beautiful chicken
The artist brings such spirit
Brightness shines forever.
My inner artist
soaks in the glow of beauty
shining from your self.
Loving all these Haikus.
Now here I go
Having a go and,
Loving the creativity,
That Haiku can bring
I’m so proud to know you! Getting out there to share your thoughts is so courageous!
