He is also a Board Member of the cultural wing of Subud, SICA-USA, an entity which I now Chair and which sponsored Poetry Postcard Fest in 2020.
Enjoy!

We need to learn from Fujitaro and see the gardens that can grow from our wastelands, from the Pacific trash heap to the City of Seattle dump to the logged former forestland to the filled in estuaries of rivers like the Duwamish that make the Port of Seattle or Marshlands that make Baltimore’s inner harbor to the sprawl of LA and suburbs around all cities in this country to the merciless businesses of insurance and pharmaceuticals and lobbying and media (social, in particular) and AI and bottled water and so on.
A workshop for poets interested in making the most out of the summer Poetry Postcard Fest and the end of fest daysong, day-long writing ritual,
What a great presentation! I have tried encaustic and never felt that it ‘turned out right’. Maybe I should try harder and just enjoy the process. Your poetry also speaks to me.
That was a joy to watch.
Oh! this was pure pleasure. Thank you, Lawrence, for creating. And Paul, for sharing. <3
Really neat to see this. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing. I’ve melted crayons on a foil wrapped hot plate. Your work reminded me of the process.
Thanks for sharing This! I loved it. Maybe wax is my next frontier.
So beautiful!
Amazing and mind boggling ! Thank you ! I have done batik on rice paper and acrylics or watercolors but this is so much intimidating
This was such an exciting video of your process..all your experimenting. Thank you so very much forgiving us this gift of watching you create.
So beautiful a nd inspiring!
Dear Lawrence,
Thank you for the demonstration and your poetry. Creating and sharing with strangers is indeed an act of love in troubled times.
