A found poem

Organizing the studio this weekend, one of Forrest's poem scribbled on a scrap piece of paper was found.
The sun
And the trees
Blooming in the wind
:/God is sweet and so are you:/
O happy Day
The beautiful soul.

Thank you for being a friend, Betty White.


Dear Betty White,

Why don't you come to Portland?
Come to Portland. Come to Project Grow. Come meet my best friends. They're perfect. And they're beautiful.

We love you. You are pretty.

The magnetic birthday hug

Try it next time! Approach someone who has a birthday and the next thing you know, others are drawn closer and closer and closer until the full effect of the magnetic birthday hug is felt and there is a whole group of people appreciating and loving each other. Happy Birthday, Zach. We love you.

Dear Sir- Patsy Blasier

Dear Sir

College growth
Up and Down

Open and out
It will be open all day

Can open out weekdays, 24 hours a day,

I can see so many wonderful things here
Dresses, shirts, paintings, poetry, flowers
You can also see the goats, the farm, the sculptures

Things like that. Pretty stuff.
...and yarn.

They have to go through me.
