It is in the searching and not the finding of things that the new is discovered. Walking that path, or escaping through that gap between the known and the next we find our way. Through both the beauty and the distractions of life we emerge in the place one truly wants to be.

Born again, beauty lays unnoticed and unaware, even of herself. What is her fate this time? Are you her protector? Her destroyer? Or, by decision or indecision, will she be overgrown and forgotten in the monotonous creep of life’s petty dreams?

The tree represents ancestral wisdom, standing vigilant like a lighthouse above the rocks, warning one to step away. Vanity, preoccupation with ones physical self, sits on the left. Self-absorption, preoccupation with ones own ideas and dreams, sits on the right. In the foreground, two frogs escape, leading one back into a world filled with the beauty of others.

Under the torrent of life’s challenges, distractions and joys - fragile and precious, the next generation and all hope falls to us. The eternal and sacred privilege of each past generation rests in our hands - to know and to honor that which has come before, and instill in the next generation the love, awareness, creative energy, and will to service that has enriched and blessed our lives.
