The paintings and sketches through this 3-Day Council {from our three very different artists} was each artist, from their own vantage point, tuned in and gleaning:
Where the Council found themselves and what the Council wove in the course of this
"We the People" tabula rasa' late Spring Covid 2020 Facilitated Conversation. This artistic interpretation goes along with the Council's "Of Courses" as well as their Story/Narrative {how they began, where they went, where they arrived at}, which is something the silent witness-to-the-Council Storycatcher is helping with, along with the Council artists.

Day 1 ~The Boat
Day 1 ~The Boat
As we go through this corona-virus period of time, we are together and separated at the same time, as though we're on an ark, like the symbolic Noah's ark, looking for new land, for a new normal.

Windows on the boat include people masked and people communicating from different races. On the deck, one person refuses to see, one refuses to hear, and one takes the position of prophesy and one hangs over the edge in despair. The sea is filled with corona virus symbols. The land we see may be old land that is cracking up. Is this where we want to land and come out from shelter in place?
The white figure holding the flag also holds money and a group of black figures stand off on a separate mound of land. US old Ways is draped across the land masses.
​Truth bubbles up linked to listening to each others' stories.

Forgiveness, humility and empathy, questions unite, answers divide us.

I'm not sure why I named the ark-boat, US Compassion....that seems contradictory and informative at the same time. ~AT

"It may have been perverse of destiny to array perception across billions of subjectivities, but the fact is central to human life and language and culture, and no philosophy or cognitive science should be allowed to evade it."
