PLEASE MEET MALLORY:
We are born precious. All of us. In those first moments of life we begin by being infinitely beautifully open.
When LOVE is given we lean in and learn to love back.
When HATE is delivered we pull away and learn to protect.
This constant leaning in and pulling away shapes our life, opens or closes us, defines how we move in the world, how we do or don't function, how we relate to each other.
Mallory lives homeless in a tent. The first thing you see is her struggle, too often that is all that gets seen. Come closer though and you begin to see so much more, the beautiful many layers that make up all of us.
We are born precious.
Mallory is an artist. That's all I know about her right now, but it is enough, because artists are sensitive and creative and find beauty in the world around us.
If you want to send art supplies for Mallory, please shipTO: Facing Homelessness c/o Mallory 4001 9th Ave NE, Seattle WA 98105. I know she will be thrilled!!!
