Tribute

 

Last week we had to say farewell to a dear, dear member of our family, Sufi Mushida and a inspiration to the IBBD.

To honor her we place this iconic picture made by artist Maïmouna Guerresi. Inspired by the greatness and spiritual beauty of African saints, she made this back in 2007.

Good Thoughts Bubbles

 

“Letting go isn’t easy, but sending good thoughts in a bubble is healing in a some sort of way”.

Near the grave of a beloved friend.
Judith stood still by the loss she feels and the friendship they had.

Mail Art
