Our past shapes our journey today. We are not just who we are now. Our entire journey makes us who we are. My mom could always make the craziest colors and patterns work. She had a unique eye. It was lost on many around her, but it was not lost on me. She made a point of passing it on to me and I am grateful. My mom was a fascinating and talented woman with passion. Now, that's me. I am my mother and I am me. I am my childhood, and I am my today. It all matters. My whole journey shapes me and makes me.

This is a painting of an oriental style vase with a pink lampshade. This vase belonged to my mom. Mom could always make the craziest colors and patterns work. Now, I see how I have learned from her. She is my greatest artistic influence.

Tears for Dancing, Age 42
The older I get the less I think about what I can get out of this life. Bad things happen here on Earth and no one is immune. I see my parents suffering, I watch terrible things happen to my friends and I see catastrophic events that create hell on Earth. Revelation 21:4 promises that someday God will wipe every tear from our eyes and the old order of things will pass away. I’m beginning to think that this promise isn’t so far away: it’s just waiting for us at the next stop. Maybe when we die we trade our tears for dancing and enter Heaven. Until then, I'm going to paint, I'm going to write, and I'm going to share when I find hope in this life. That's why I'm here at Journey on Canvas.
