Sitting at Jinks Art Factory has become part of my routine.
I got very lucky in being made welcome here, and being accepted as part of the family.
It is a gathering, a coming together, a sense of belonging
Jinks has elevated the sense of being at home to near-mystical levels. The togetherness here is palpable even in the COVID world
I have been accused of being a social person, and being here makes it easy. I just have to sit here, everyone comes to me. If no one comes, Sara and Jen are always good company; they're still here, I hope they stay for many years.
It doesn't matter whether I am sitting out front, basking in the sunlight, with a coffee and a cigarette, or grabbing a coffee to go. Regardless of what I do here, that feeling of belonging is constant.
Surrounded by art, music, wonderful company, and that intangible feeling, it would be impossible to not be content.
And their outdoor setup these days is actually quite delight.
