August 16

It feels good to be back at my desk this morning. I notice that one of the plants outside my window has grown super tall. The hummingbird feeder is buzzing again, after having been refilled last night. Today is a day for laundry and a day to notice what has happened in these last three weeks away.

“What if we realized the best way to ensure an effective educational system is not by standardizing our curricula and tests but by standardizing the opportunities available to all students?” —Ibram X. Kendi, How To Be An Antiracist

“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.
