Little Heather’s Liberation
June 6, 2009
It was 20 years ago today…I stood waiting for Heather to get off the bus from first grade. Gen was two years old and waiting with me at the bottom of the hill. The thought that went through my head back then was something like, ‘wow, she’ll have 20 more years of schooling before she’s out of college.’ I sighed a big sigh. The time between that breath and this seems like it raced past like water over Niagra Falls! Letting go of being the mother of young daughters has been as much a process in years, hours, minutes as menopause…with all the emotional, physical, psychic, and spiritual implications. Ritual is called for. Thank Goddess it’s happening for her.
The Flower Goddess: Celebration, ritual, myth mixes with blood, sweat and tears -- motherhood coming, going, returning, departing, in no linear order but in gestures and hugs and fleeting moments in between homework and flying out the door for freedom and adventures. My love for my daughters is and has been the greatest love of all for me...and they are so beautiful. So deeply beautiful people. Gratitude for life fills my afternoon.
My Time with Joe Cocker, Mad Dogs & Englishmen
May 28, 2009
March 1969, I was 19 years old and meeting Joe for the first time at the A&M sound stage on La Brea, in Hollywood. I fell in love with his music and his spirit on first site. This was another adventure Sandy Konikoff got me into! The sound stage was like a choreographed love-in, a music lover’s paradise & holy rocker carnival! For the next two weeks people hung out between the A&M lot and Leon’s house —Then, 38 of us (self-chosen & invited) departed by private plane for 2 months of an all-out outrageous rock and roll tour of the US. Andee (Cohen) Nathanson and I were the two documentary photographers. It was my first job! We had total freedom to shoot from anywhere at any time: on stage, under Joe’s feet, from above, inside/outside, and all around. For two months we all lived together, ate together, played together — a traveling circus of merry and sometimes not so merry pranksters invading airports, hotels, stages, restaurants, local parks en masse. It was a blast. I was the youngest member of the tour, and totally protected by the older folks…Many stories to tell!!!
Here is a blast from the past in photos of the Tour – enjoy http://www.lindawolf.net/Joe.

A week in Yelapa, Mexico: March 2010, with Linda Wolf & Philip Meadows. Interested? Let us know. Send an email to lwp@lindawolf.net. Philip and I plan to take participants on an adventure in light, feeling, nature — a sensual and intimate experience in photography and soul work. What are you trying to express? What are you longing to say? How can you express yourself more fully? How can you use Photoshop to help? This retreat/workshop is limited to 13 participants. We’ll be staying at the infamous Casa de los Suenos, in Yelapa. Delicious meals, fantastic location, and plenty of time and individual attention. Participants will need digital camera, thumbdrive or external harddrive, laptop computer with Photoshop installed, and waterproof travel cases or makeshift ones. Yelapa has no roads, cars and the only way into Yelapa or on any of our day adventures is by water taxi or private boat. More information will be forthcoming. Check google pages to learn more about Yelapa, Mexico, and the Marietta Islands.
