A Turning Descent
The Land, watercolor, 2026
In the Pulse
We live in the moment before—
before the bear’s foot meets earth,
before the hawk descends,
before the sky turns
from indigo
to bitter orange
to blue.
This is the pulse.
We are here—
single threads of the whole.
Our roots run beneath the fire—
smoldering,
not burning.
We are not separate.
Every feeling
travels the weave, this tapestry
woven in time.
What aches in one place
is held by the whole.
When we hold ourselves,
we hold each other—
lifting what is present,
making room for what is coming.
The weaving heals
as it rises.
We walk this worn path
With eyes of an eagle—
through earth,
into what endures.
The wounds of our ancestors
are threads left in our care.
Scars their offering—
asking us to break the pattern
and begin again.
We are canyons.
We are vessels—
shaped to carry
what moves through us.
Vessel For Living, watercolor, 2026
We are held as we learn to hold—
listening for the pulse
that moves through us all.
With gratitude
for being part of the whole.
Wishing you all healing, love, and continued creativity.
