poetry in motion

I have worked in the center now for almost 3 months.
All I can say is that it has been an honor and a privelege
to be part of this project,
even with all the infrastructural headaches,
and all the usual start-up issues.

I had a moment to speak with all of the different
vendors, artists and program partners today
as they did their work.
And the one thing they all shared is their pride
and appreciation for being able to
share their talents to help make this place what it is.

As I type this blog in my boss' office while I look
out into our lovely space,
I can't help but feel a strong sense of certainty
about the power and inspiration that this place
has brought to many, including myself.

Regardless of the longevity of this center,
the level of collaboration, work and commitment put into this place
is a testament to
the TRUE GOOD in people
and
the power that love and commitment has
to make people achieve great things
in order to help others.
