Coming to Life (6)

We tell each other stories,

baffling little anecdotes

from firsthand experience,

and then we look at them

in a spiritual light.

We try to see what ideas

are running our lives.

Then we look for truer,

spiritual ideas and consider

how to let them

take charge of us.

—Polly Berrien Berends, Coming to Life

Thanks, Carol.

As I look back on this today (having made it some time ago), I see cracks in ice on the surface of a pond.

The darks! The DARKS! Taking me deep into crevices that might hold truer spiritual ideas...

LOVE your interpretation, Jen! I'm always on the lookout for truer spiritual ideas, don'tcha know?

Can't for the life of me think why, but this makes me think of Christmas trees and peanut brittle. There is a hint of festive about this. Haha. :)

Christmas trees, peanut brittle, and a hint of festive: PERFECT! Love that! It's magic, what a little acrylic, ink, and collage on paper can evoke! Thanks, Sheila : )
