Maybe Wisdom's Green
Can feel my thin fingers here
tracing ancient ways.
Much of Eastern art is embellished with a third eye between the eyebrows of this God or Goddess, that wise man, this ocean leaping Monkey King. But any level of wisdom above or within the realm of speech loses its clarity when we try to name or explain it. That's why images, statues, music and other arts are so important to human beings. They inscribe a different kind of knowing on our hearts. Who might use such wisdom today?

Meet the Maker
Kayle Rice:
I was never very creative as I was growing up and as an adult I couldn't draw a straight line with a ruler. Imagine my surprise when "artist" popped up as #1 on a career aptitude test! The guanlet was thrown! Over the years I've played with many mediums and being a slap-dash kind of gal, collage has become a favorite. I love using pan pastels, stencils, collage papers and my top favorite: "rusty bits", found pieces of rust. I try to complete each piece with a line from the Buddhist Metta Prayer of Loving Kindness. It's important to me that each piece I create has the spiritual imbued into it.
May you be at peace.
Kim Nunneley:
There is a place my mind goes when "creating". The messy words quiet, yet I continue to express something sometime too difficult to verbally share. One morning, music may whisk me along a brayer-rolled Gelli Plate, while on another day, I painstakingly do fine detailed inkwork to the sound of the lake washing up against the dam near my home. My favorite media is always the next one, my favorite art, the discovery of misty edges emerging and coming into being, laughing. I stand in witness to the loves of my life--horses, flowers, trees, mandalas, wild colors and formal line--all at play in endless combinations. Is this not prayer? Is this not grace?
Blessings, abundant and fresh, to you.
How it’s Made
I rustle through many sources of images, clipping the ones that speak to me. Later, many images are brought together on card stock. The collage is then photographed and printed on quality photo paper and attached to a blank 5x7" greeting card. Finally, the card and envelope are slipped into a plastic sleeve.
