In January, I heard of Richard and Kristina’s water disaster in the salon and shop. As I worked on this piece, I thought of them and the journey they have been on, insisting on the strength of their dream.
As I worked on this gold leaf fern, I remembered these lines by Sam Walter Foss. These are my favorite lines:
The woods were made for the hunters of dreams,
The brooks for the fishers of song;
To the hunters who hunt for the gunless game
The streams and the woods belong.
There are thoughts that moan from the soul of the pine,
And thoughts in a flower bell curled;
And the thoughts that are blown with the scent of the fern
Are as new and as old as the world.
