Words from our Retreat (7)


This is the 7th in a series of poems/musings/prose/text, penned by our members during our retreat in November on the theme of Tapestry. This one is by Michael. 

Poem in Retreat 25th Nov 2012
It's an idea, a concept, a reality. 
It's a group, a team, a family.
It's a pain, a longing, and a joy.

It's a thorn in my soul 
It's a place in my heart.

Sometimes we fight,
sometimes we're tight.
Sometimes we're awesome,
sometimes tiresome.
Sometimes we tear,
sometimes we fear.

It's a thorn in my soul 
It's a place in my heart 

Words from our Retreat (6)


This is the 6th in a series of poems/musings/prose/text, penned by our members during our retreat in November on the theme of Tapestry. This one is by Laura. 

Tapestry breathes a dedicated vision

Extending Touchstones
Indulging levity
Exorcizing obstacles

Erase borders which inhibit discovery
As Playback Rainbows release Monsoons of tears,
tickles and trust.

Accumulative experiences
Relational blockages
Insightful journeys

We have come a long way,
We've only just begun.

Fragments of grey
rainbow awaits
Biting our fears
we thread the threads
Together we perfect the imperfect

We spent a little bit of time during our last retreat, to individually come up with a few words on our thoughts about Tapestry. Here's one from Elaine.

A Special Gift - Tapestry Playback Theatre
By: Elaine Tham

Playback can be a very special gift,
a very special gift it can be.

I found in it comfort;
I found in it a safe space;
I found in it a comfortable and authentic feeling.
Most importantly, it is my avenue for reflection.

Playback can be a very special gift,
but only when you are ready for it.
When you are ready and open to this special gift,
you would savour it slow.

Playback is indeed a very special gift.

We went into our annual retreat in Nov, to review the past year and plan for the coming year.

We spent a little bit of time to individually come up with a few words on our thoughts about Tapestry. Here's one from Ying. Look out for the rest coming up soon!

Tapestry and Me 2012

A team of characters put together
Funny, serious, through storms we weather
Privileged to have the opportunity
To be of service to community

So much to learn it's quite challenging
CPT workshops were enlightening
Trying my best to always be present
To make up for what I missed in absence
