everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. gardening is an instrument of grace.help us to be ever faithful gardeners of the spirit, who know that without darkness nothing comes to birth, and without light nothing flowers.

Lovely image and May Sarton quote. Which book is it from? I will enjoy revisiting this image over the day.
kj - thank you! they are actually two different quotes, but both seemed to go with these images. i tried to find which of her books they came from, but to no avail, yet. in my creative process, image tends to come first...but with a hint of what they're about...then the search for words begins; often leading me to discover authors i've not yet read. like hitting a rich vein in the goldmine.
wow, never would have guessed that was the source image
kel, i get surprised all the time by where these mandalas end up - that's part of the joy of the process for me. :-)
