Participants sharing their art..

Participants sharing their art.. 

One of the participants at the RAIN Total Care Center in the Bronx - Maryann Lyman wrote a poem, inspired by her walks at the Bronx Botanical garden. She thought this poem might make for a good dance piece. 
I love how participants share their art in my class, and that we can incorporate it into what we are doing! 

What is a tree?
by Maryann Lyman

What is a tree?
It is a strong upstanding woman
Stands up in rain, storms 
& icy cold winter
Takes sunshine how God gives it 
The bark is strong like the inside 
of a woman
that's what she is 
​A tree
