Description

In this Wedding Wall hanging I used Applique, Soft Sculpture and Quilting, On Purple fabric, Bright flowers, butterflies, and a Celtic Cross were stitched, An open window with lace curtains frame the colorful cross - representing radiant joy in the midst of the sacrifice of commitment in marriage. This was made for our son, Matthew's marriage to Nohelia Talavera in Matagalpa Nicaragua....I wrote the following poem:..............................................................................IN THE SECRET, SACRED PLACE
Jesus Speaks to my heart:
I take your sadness
and turn it to joy.
I sprinkle your darkness
with showers of light.
I take your grief and prayers
so earnestly spoken
and make something new
and wonderful
surprising you with healing.
When you look into the pit
it is hard to imagine the stars –
the ugliness becomes imprinted
in your brain and in your soul.
Look at Me.
When you look at Me – the Light
bright with love and acceptance
becomes the filter through
which al your experiences are
sifted.
so the ugliness is sifted
transformed and lifted.
penetrated, recreated
and becomes Reality
through which all your reality
is seen.
More than you can dream.
Pour out your longings
as you stand on the Rock
that is not moved by your questionings
though of gentle and most tender compassions.
November 2001
