Life Well Lived
Commissioned - Belgium
In this season it is my prayer each day you experience a life well lived.
Be at peace with those around you, find opportunity to give and not take, and may you create beauty with the gifts the Creator has given you.
The life well lived...There is something beautiful about being in the presence of elders who have lived a full life.
To hear their stories and see their prayers offered through dance, is to experience the wisdom of our ancestors.
Reindeer fur depicts the long grey hair given to those who carry our history. The blue, red, and brown pigments are symbols we are a part of the earth and sea.
