great gift ideas from creative folks i am proud to know

December 11, 2008 by rachel

One of life’s greatest pleasures as a “creative” person, is getting to know other creative types. One can only toot one’s own horn for so long, so herewith, some enormously talented and creative individuals, each of whom I am proud to call “friend.” Carlos Smith I first met Carlos on the labyrinth, which he considers a gift from Mother Earth, a pattern for wholeness, a path to transformation and healing of the human spirit.

“…in defiance of self- consciousness…big, bold, and outright.”

"(Rachel) practices a doctrine of fearlessness. A self-taught poet, she is mesmerized by the way words seem to take on a life of their own (and) ...she strives to “be the instrument” for expression. Her willingness to acknowledge and to submit to the power of language comes across in the litany-like form of her long, intentionally inspirational poems, in the way she returns to such phrases as “Forgive me” (“Prayer for Radical Forgiveness”), “It’s that easy,” or “I will” (“Vow for the Unbound”). Written in defiance of self-consciousness, Snyder’s prayerful poems were big, bold, and outright. " Anne Lovering Rounds for Bryant Park Blog

“…transcendent…heartfelt…powerful…”

"Rachel's poetry is transcendent, and her performance at Bryant Park in NY was heartfelt and powerful. She really engaged the audience. In fact, I was so riveted, that I forgot to take any photos of the event, as I had planned!" J.C., Harlem NY

“…deserving of a larger stage to perform her magic.”
