Be Like a Kite: A Poetic Encounter at the Hand-Painted Kites Workshop

Be Like a Kite: A Poetic Encounter at the Hand-Painted Kites Workshop

Be Like a Kite

 

Be like a kite – anchored, yet free to fly


Emerging from different cycles of life


Like bears from hibernation's deep embrace


We greet, we hug, we find our place

 

Discovering the paper mushroom, we find the Flowing Barn community nestled under the cool shade of a grand tree.

 

Drawing breath, our minds attune

 

To birds’ songs and leaves’ soft tune

 

Opening our eyes, we find

 

Refreshed faces, beaming and kind

 

Beneath the grand tree, on the soft grass, we gather for a guided meditation before painting.

 

Brighter adventures now we seek

 

Shoulder to shoulder, strong and meek

 

Faces unmasked, hearts open wide

 

Sharing pallets, side by side

 

Bonding over a shared painting experience with friends, family, or your significant other

 

Brushes dipped in shared wells

 

Words and laughter, their joy tells

 

From depths beyond what we can tell

 

Restoring bonds, we know so well

 "This is the happiest moment of my week!" exclaimed a young participant.

 

Kites on strings, ready to soar

 

Facing sun and wind, we explore

 

Ever dreaming, wandering still

 

Embracing the unknown with a will

 

Nothing beats the joy of flying your hand-painted kite with friends and family.
