Hello Parker

Winter Offering — Tillie loves to make natural mandalas wherever she goes. It’s like her signature.
It makes me wonder what things would look like if kids (and adults) were left to build the mandala of their lives within/as nature—instead of sifting through the crumbs of nature we leave in our cityscapes.
Even in the heart of downtown Dallas, she crafted a storyline of fairies and changing seasons to a setting sun, leaving her offering behind to bless the park.
I think this is our purpose, in some way, to find and sort and rearrange things around us to invoke beauty. For 99.9% of human history, our intention was this. In place ~as~ place.
Now it seems like we’re a snake, eating its own tail, trying to live our purpose of nurturing beauty into manifestation but left famished by the materials of mother culture, trying to build what we’re trying to remember.
That’s one of the magical things about having kids: they help you remember what it’s like to know and see all the beauty in the world.
To remember why we’re here in the first place.
