"Unclear, Yet Unshaken"
This work is a meditation on resilience: a reminder that lack of clarity does not require fear, and uncertainty does not diminish our capacity for confidence. Like the steady emergence of spring, there is faith within us that continues forward—rooted, unwavering, and whole.  Tulips rise—unquestioning, they do not wait for perfect conditions to bloom, nor do they measure their worth against the shifting noise around them.

"Still, We Hold"
My sky holds its breath

As a veil of thunder inches its way

Toward my amber sea.

My tired tide rests low

While daybreak melts across my face,

Driftwood bleached and torn from passage —

Merely forming the gold 

My jaded hands hold.

Title: Ambassadors from Another Time

Located in the beautiful Santa Barbara Botanic Garden,  Coast redwoods can live for more than 2,000 years. In fact, some trees living today were alive during the time of the Roman Empire! 

 “From them comes silence and awe. It's not only their unbelievable stature, nor the color which seems to shift and vary under your eyes, no, they are not like any trees we know, they are ambassadors from another time.” - John Steinbeck
