“There will be brighter days,” promises sand artist Kseniya Simonova, “and life always wins.”
The artistry of her hands gives me hope. They demonstrate the light and life that imagination, skill, and creative effort can add light to this world.
(My thanks to Kseniya Simonova.)

It astounds me what some people can do! That was great! You are a master curator, @Phyllis Cole-Dai!!!
Telling the story of hope in such a remarkable and stunning way. The grace for me was the absence of words and the sitting on the edge of my heart wondering what would unfold. Two humans face to face. Open and vulnerable, anticipating the coming newness is a perfect way for healing to come. Thank you, my friend.
