Hi Aimee, I enjoyed seeing these glimpses into your practices of art and listening and paying attention. Super inspiring!
To answer your question, I am a late in life learner, getting my teaching credential when I was 40, and then teaching for 20 plus years after that. My first book of poetry was published when I was 68, and my second one just came out last summer. I'm not quite in the Luci Shaw club, but grateful to God for other folks over 70 who continue to inspire me and companion the way, especially in poetry.
PS I just read your essay over at Cultivating--so ridiculously perfectly timed...God gave me that passage in Hebrews through my Spiritual Director just the other day. The words have been tumbling around in my spirit ever since. Thank you!
I loved your tour and you’ve got me pondering why I make things… and why I don’t, in some cases. Thanks for getting me thinking.
