I am surrounded
by pebbles who know not what
mountain to call home.
Hello art friends,
As I prepare to take a 6-week summer break to study in Chicago, I thought I’d share this short poem from 2021 with you today, which I think pairs nicely with my rainbow-themed landscape.
It was written at a time, not unlike today. A time of uncertainty in an unpredictable future held by unpredictable people without the communal ties that inform the best parts of humanity - the hope in making a better future, a commitment to equity and the lifting of hearts and opening of minds, space for difference amidst acknowledgment of universal human truths, care and love for each other and for the planet and all that she holds.
May we come together and rebuild a better world. May we form a new, more resilient mountain of the lost and beautiful, unique pebbles all around us and call it home; call it New Earth.
See you again soon,
~ Jennifer
