Walking Together as a Circle, a walk for unity at Björkö Konstnod artist residency.
Our group included local residents (Sweden), and artists from Lithuania, China, Russia, Germany, Sweden, and the US. Just prior to the walk I read the quote below from Alice Walker. Special Thanks to Jonas Daniel Evicius for translating into Lituanian.
Text read by John at the beginning of the intervention.
"May we be connected to each other,
May we know the range and depth of feelings in ourselves and in each other.
There is vulnerability, fear, love, rage, hatred, compassion, courage, despair, and hope in ourselves, each other, and the world.
May we know our most authentic feelings.
And voice them when we speak,
May we tap into soul and spirit when we are silent together
May healing begin in us.
May we form and become a circle."
Alice Walker Quotation (P. 43, sent by earth)
