fathomless mystery

watercolor on aquaboard

“Listen to your life.
 See it for the fathomless mystery it is.
 In the boredom and pain of it, 
no less than in the excitement and gladness: 
touch, taste, smell 
your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, 
because in the last analysis
 all moments are key moments, 
and life itself is grace.” 
― Frederick Buechner, Now and Then: A Memoir of Vocation

  2. Oh I adore him Minnemie, it's so loose.
    There's something so cute about the back end of an elephant!
    The quote is very thought provoking too.

  9. How can you NOT love an elephant walking away. Your positioning of the legs, tail and trunk really show movement. Well done.

  15. I don't know how I missed this last week but I'm so glad to see you back! This is wonderful. I love elephants and there's something about the way they walk when you see them from behind - you've captured the motion perfectly.
