Slavick & Steven Schroeder
At
birth, we arrive on the earth somewhat blank. As we grow, we learn knowledge
and how to make friends. Time passes, and we enter society and start a career.
Maybe it is then that we realize that life is a circle of love, that we are
moving from one loop to another, some liked, others not. We connect people from
the various stages of our lives, and also disconnect. We make smaller circles,
then bigger, bigger. Sometimes, bigger than the imagination.
In
March, we offer a manifestation of the circle of love. Madeleine, after moving
to live in New Zealand, is coming back to Hong Kong for a month. Steve
Schroeder is also visiting Hong Kong from Chicago. They were both born in
the United States, but it is in poetry where they met, and now meet again, to
share ideas on connections, circles and love.
