capturing colour

In art school, wonder | wander | women learned colour theory: how colours work together and how they can affect our perceptions and even our moods.

memory + truth = medicine

Take a breath offered by friendly winds. 

They travel the earth gathering essences of plants to clean.

Give it back with gratitude.

If you sing it will give your spirit lift to fly to the stars’ ears and back. 

Acknowledge this earth who has cared for you since you were a dream 

    planting itself precisely within your parents’ desire. ~ Joy Harjo 

holding vigil

At the bedside of our dying grand/mother we said the ritual words: 

"I love you. Thank you. I forgive you. Please forgive me."

There is great power in these words, and rituals hold much healing - especially in times of need. 

cherry blossoms, passing

In Japan the blossoms of the cherry tree represent the ultimate beauty, but because they bloom and fall so quickly, they also represent the brevity of life. wonder | wander | women always feel a sense of loss when we see the clouds of pink thin out and begin to show more new green leaves.
