I wish I could remember Liz’s words in 2016, her interpretation of the white stones from Revelation. All I can remember is that she deeply touched me with them.

Grateful, too, to be entering the 2020 images inspired by Resmaa Menakem’s My Grandmother’s Hands.

2021 – I’ve started collecting white quartz rocks from my morning walks, placing them in the Liz spot near my triple spiral labyrinth. Seeing this image with the white rocks at the bottom left makes me smile.

“…when I’m scared, I know enough to let my body tap into its inherent resilience and flow, to help it settle…” —Resmaa Menakem, My Grandmother’s Hands, p. 23

“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.
