The Dogs Of Bedlam Farm are a living tapestry of my life, threads and images of different colors, styles, meanings. There is Frieda who lived in the Adirondacks for years fending for herself, our guardian. And Lenore, a creature of pure love and connection, and Red from Ireland, a worker and companion. Before them, so many other dogs, Rose, Izzy, Pearl, Clementine, dogs that took me places, brought me places, opened up up. The Dogs Of Bedlam Farm are like one of Maria’s quilts, different things fitting together into a beautiful whole that gives meaning and direction to my life, challenges me to be a better human, teaches me so many things about love and live. I love this tapestry, it is magical, always.
