God before us. God behind us.

God above us. God below us.

God beside us. God with us.

Amen.

Love-kissed tears tender

“Darkness is not the absence of light as we’ve been so forced to believe. It is the very dance of life—it is light in rapturous contemplation of herself, in poetic adoration of her own contours and sensuous nuances.” —Bayo Akomolafe, These Wilds Beyond Our Fences, p. 212

“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.
