Ascent

As we place thoughts, memories, and reflections of the happenings of these last difficult years behind us, we look ahead with newfound strength, fortitude and light for the beginnings of a bright future.

I often collaborate with creative associates and friends. Several years ago, writer and dear pal Bill Grotts and I created an image and a poem, some colors and some words, about light, healing, and being connected in support for the greater good when all seemed insurmountable, dark, and pained.

Oh, what light can do.

Our intention remains the same today, but in a new light and with new words for recovery; to rise and overcome, to fully reclaim one’s self and uplift a community. Together.

We are now offering the limited edition, hand embellished giclée print on paper and a poem of the same name, our combined effort and collaboration.

Surfacing

into the bright

sunlight on water.

Diamonds dancing.

Spirit enhancing.

Stretching

with sunlight on lifted

faces lifting spirits,

balancing the cycles.

up and down,

yes and no,

near and far,

fast and slow.

Bend.

Mend.

Ascend.

Inhale peace,

exhale panic,

feel the light

and rise.

Inhale strength,

exhale worry.

become the light

and rise.

The light is yours

and mine

and ours.

We bloom in light

and rise.

Poem by Bill Grotts

Be well all, and continue to reach for the light.

For C. H., whose courage, truth, and inspiration continues to shine.
