Elizabeth Hutchinson lives in Grande Prairie, Alberta with her husband and children. She is an educator and arts integration specialist ~ and she is reminded daily to be grateful for the gifts of family, friendship, creativity and play.
“I am fascinated by the overlap between our ecological memories and inner narratives. Once, I played in the woods, chased streams, and caught water skippers by following their shadows. Small children understand what treasure is. They fill their pockets with stones and feathers. They pull wildflowers for the ones they love. Children connect with nature effortlessly, with no need for anyone to teach them.
There is a hidden narrative I was told somewhere along the way, that nature is a pristine ‘other’ that only thrives when I am not near. I want to tell our children a different truth. That nature thrives inside them and the wind longs for them to dance. An entire world ebbs and flows in response to our movement. We are part of a symbiotic web where all of our actions have repercussions for the pulse of life around us. The rocks at our feet hold our memories. No wonder they are treasures collected by little hands.
The sublime sits unnoticed in our daily lives and waits for us to hold our breath in wonder.”
