Avocado pits

Tide pool. Marker and colored pencil.

Come and go. Marker and colored pencil.

Dialogue. Marker and colored pencil.

 Eye-related things I've been working on... an embroidered eye garland and Crayola marker eyes.

“May we raise children
who love the unloved
things - the dandelion, the
worms & spiderlings.
Children who sense
the rose needs the thorn

& run into rainswept days
the same way they
turn towards sun...

And when they're grown &
someone has to speak for those
who have no voice

may they draw upon that
wilder bond, those days of
tending tender things

and be the ones.”
