As another day dawns, I’m still pondering Mirabai’s invitation to “scoop the light into your eyes.”

“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.

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