Dr. Holmes quotes Brian Swimme, “‘…the opportunity of our time is to integrate science’s understanding of the universe with much more ancient intuitions concerning the meaning and destiny of the human.’ The attempt to separate culture and scientific knowledge began during the Enlightenment. Thousands of years earlier, ancient people considered the earth and the cosmos as a living continuum that sustained and permeated them. … Ancient intuitions hint at expansiveness rather than exclusion, connectedness rather than isolation.” —Barbara A. Holmes, Race and the Cosmos, p. 120, 121
“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.
