If you look at a line from the two points at either end, you can observe how straight or twisted a journey it wanders. But if you look at two points next to each other somewhere in the middle it is impossible to know how the journey began or how it will end. We can try to lean into the simplicity of moving from one point to the next, embracing the peace of not knowing the obstacles or the ease that lies ahead. There is such calm in being fully in this moment, in this place, doing this one thing, and then clearly seeing the next step as it presents itself. The complexity of this life and its many details are simplified as we stop looking for that bird’s eye view of our lives.

We go through life, unaware of all the twists, all the decisions, all the subtle changes we go through to become who we are becoming. We stand unaware of our magic and our gifts settling into the mediocre and the monotonous. Until one day a spark lights within, or a conversation illuminates, or a tragedy requires us to finally see all that we are.  The fullness of ourselves, our power, and our potential. And then suddenly all the choices, all that we have gathered and learned and become, transforms into a beautiful mosaic. We begin to understand that we are here to add to the ourselves until we are filled up with all the pieces of who we are. No matter how disparate they seem. No matter how strange. My work is my pathway to understanding my own mosaic, to filling it up, to discovering more of the pieces. It is ever shifting, never-ending, and becoming more of who I truly am as the years pass. My hope is that it will help you discover something within you that has been waiting to be seen, that has been waiting to be embraced, and that will add to the mosaic of who you are.
