The longer I sit with change and the prompts that have come though Leah Lamb’s explorations of change, the more change wants to be recognized for all the ways it’s woven into our lives.
Following are a few of my own words responding to the prompts along with some of the drawings for “The Little Book of Change.” (You’ll find all of the artwork in progress residing here in ‘Storylines.’)
Its what we imagine will happen with you — the curiosity to explore the prompts, and courage to face the possibilities of change.
🧶 In search of change
Once upon a moment that slipped out of time
there were 2birds obsessed with change
they knew that with each new day change would show up
night’s dreams would hint at what was to come
awakened to the constant, change would find a way to tell its evolving story
it came thought the story catchers
noticing witnessing listening telling drawing it out
but it wasn’t an easy thing to do
as time went on it made everyone else uneasy
change was insistent it was an old story
nevertheless they went looking for a new story
that’s when everything changed
when the security blankets went missing
the comfort was gone
all sensed a not knowing
a lack of meaning
the grief was deeply felt
warming hearts
to change
🧶 Hungry for change
It was that dubious night that change came to dinner
everyone was expecting them to bring the food
yet change had heard there was a change of plans
no-one knew who changed change’s plan
so they all started blaming each other
‘liars’ they screamed at each other
change was mortified
change couldn’t get anyone
to change what was happening
no-one really believed in change
seemed to be what had changed
and there they sat
unchanged
hungry
for change
🧶 Change > it’s a page turner
Little did either of us fully realize what would come of this project when we started. We still are not sure as it changes with time.
But I can tell you the drawings seem to be creating themselves using my hand as the messenger and Leah’s prompts as the kindling.
To be clear, there is no AI here other than our artful intelligence co-creating and the desire to unravel the clews* threaded through each new chapter of life.
