Loose Strife
On weeds and wants and ways and whimsy
Laura Kathleen Coleman Kulp, 1970-2008
This site is dedicated to the memory of Laura and is now mostly an archive of her 15-month struggle with cancer as told by her husband David and other family. A brief background of her case is found in the About section. Family photos dating back five years can be found in the main photos section. There are two slideshow retrospectives of Laura throughout her life. A collaborative tribute effort is woefully incomplete and I encourage your help.

I love this. It’s a fleshy confusion. Chakras, skeletons and antlers. Funny and a testimony to chi as the human and non-human. I think it’s funny because all that awkward profundity has to rest on ordinary human feet.
Tree/human hybridity is one of my favorite themes lately, thanks to philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty and theologian Louis Simon. Merleau Ponty writes of the reversibility of the senses – how the world receives our sight and sees us back, and together that makes the flesh of the world. Simon uses the parable of the mustard seed and the festival of birds in its branches to talk about divine hospitality at the height of a human.
Love to you.
