this day has been one of lovely conversation and knitting, crocheting, learning and teaching. i returned home to read some articles in order to prepare for class tomorrow. The article writes about Canadian policy and attitudes toward disability - and the fact is: we know very little. We do not understand how poverty and disability intersect; how poverty is persistent for some persons no matter what individual choices are made. it is particularly problematic and troubling if the person also lives with a disability or difference.
Person residing in shelters often experience impairment and disability. Everyday is another day of not quite having enough. Not enough to buy a toothbrush, a new pair of shoes, underwear, socks. The stress is exhausting, it becomes a tangles of knots...
So what you see below is an intial design for a banner - made with the folks at one of Toronto's shelters.... gorgeous isn't it? There is untapped beauty in these old buildings.... let us know what you think!
