The Key
Why
I take comfort in the idea that the key to spiritual understanding is a little willingness. A little willingness to edge up to the unknown and ask for the answers. The answers want to find us as much as we want to find them.
How
Key - given to me by my friend and painting teacher, Doris
Chain - from a batch of jewelry given to me by my friend Holly, after it was given to her by the son of his deceased mother.
Fishing pole - after cutting down bamboo in my sister Cindy’s yard to make a bamboo fishing pole, I found an actual bamboo fishing pole in my mom’s pump house. She held it up on her porch for me to photograph.
Bubbles and waterline - at the penguin exhibit at the Central Park Zoo in New York City.
