Laurel Lindström

Laurel Lindström’s shape is borne of:
Laughter
Scent of roses, lupins, lillies of the valley
New baby sister in a sunlit yellow room
Live jazz at 2am
Building a snow woman; planting a pear tree
Satch the cat
Being uprooed
A German schoolroom with no words
Anger and a stranger who never left
Passing the 11+
Silent in a Brooklyn school
Kota, caseri, lachano, Greece and Greeks
Cold, hungry, friendless
Alone “you can be in our group but we’re not your friends”
Sex
Spite, meanness, fights
Power of driving
Steve Jobs and Bill Gates
UCLA and persistence
Unmatchable wonder of a child called Hannah
Sweden and dancing with a stranger
Learning to be loved
Horses, music, books, work, obsessions, family, laughter and chocolate
