Recently while walking the dirt roads of our country neighborhood, I’ve noticed more of the little blue flower featured in 2015’s image. The flower’s scientific name is Commelina communis. According to Wikipedia, they bloom for just one day and are considered weeds.

How remarkable this dayflower would again catch my attention and welcome me back, simply by bearing light and singing her freedom song.

And just like that, I’m home again.

“Seven Years of Wonder” is a daily look back at my creative journaling posts since 2014. I began this journey on Feb. 11, 2021, and hope to continue through Feb. 10, 2022. What am I learning about my art and faith journey thus far? What has remained constant? Where have I been changed? How is this impacting present and future art-making?

A deep bow of gratitude to you for keeping me company on this journey.
