Some of you made comments. Thanks so much for those. I appreciate that words I've penned may have helped you with the thoughts and feelings already rolling around within you. I think that's a lot of what this life's about. Helping one another to hear and feel those things that let us grow and become all we are meant to be. Certainly Nie has awakened those thoughts and feelings within hundreds, over many years, and in many different ways.
I thought I'd share with you the beautiful artwork Nie crafted for our family last year about this time. I was far away, living in South Africa with my husband and children, when I emailed and begged Ms. Nie to share her incredible talent. She sweetly obliged. This is the result....
Aren't they wonderful? Not just the art; I wish you could meet the amazing little lives that are the shadows on the wall. Stephanie felt she had met them, a little, as she worked. It was an honor to have her help in creating something that reminds me often of the wonder it is to the be the mother of these...and the wife of him, the guy who's sillouhette you see next to mine.
Hope you'll remember that if you like what you read, you got the link from Nie. And if you like what Nie reads, I hope you'll remember why she knows the things she knows and does the things she does. She would want it to be that way.
come on back again. It was fun to have you!
In honor of Ms. Nie; spiritual enlightenment here.
