I am planning to submit this log (or a chunk of it) to the Chapel Hill community art project entitled Lost and Found. Last year nearly 300 people offered submissions … which says we are either a creative community or a deluded one – like the folks in the classic, You Can’t Take it with You. I have to include an “artist’s statement” with my piece, but I haven’t yet written it (the due date is today!). I will say something about finding this amazing flower, imprinted by God, in the center of a sawn log while out running on a trail. I guess I could tweak the facts a bit by saying I was LOST on a trail and then FOUND this art … but I know every inch of trail in Chapel Hill so that would be, a-hem, lying.
Or, more “poetic license” JP and KC?
It’s still accurate if you were “lost in thought” on the trail, isn’t it?
Clever, Anne!
Do I need to quote you if I use it?
No, the credit’s all yours. I just offered a little encouragement.
