Description
January 2016 - From the time we become self-aware, we seek to understand ourselves and to discover our purpose in life and our place in the world. Some step into it with ease, others must search for it for years, and still others never manage to find it. This sun never felt like she belonged. Nothing in her galaxy of origin resembled her and she could not find her purpose. After millennia of turbulence and other traumatic celestial events, not only did her surroundings change greatly, but so did she. Then one day, she glanced at her rays to find she was shining on new surroundings. She saw that she was reflected in this corner of the universe that's as unique as she is, where she is safe and accepted, where she has devoted satellites, where she can reach her zenith, where she is free to just be. In that moment, she let out a sigh of relief as she knew, at long last, that she was finding her place in the universe.
"Finding Her Place in the Universe" is a mixed media collage that is comprised of watercolor and acrylic paint, magazine clippings, and construction paper on 185 lb cold press paper.

This just amazingly beautiful and quite brilliant dear Rahdne. How true for all of us, I feel like a constant work in progress personally, endlessly searching and hopefully finding. Perhaps some of us have found our place and do not even realize it. To be the sun and to know, what a wondrous goal.

Thank you so much for your wonderful words, dear Sharon. I come back to meditate on this piece often, and currently I am making some changes to the original. It's always a good reminder of the importance of finding our place. In gratitude...
