Derek Walcott’s words remind me that we can search for all of our lives, but ultimately as surely as spring follows winter, we always come back to ourselves.

Wise words from Derek Walcott. So many of us spend our lives running away from ourselves.
So true – the lucky ones are the people who run back to themselves 🙂

Fantastic post, Janet. That first painting is absolutely stunning, it really drew me in–the angle of her face, the boldness in the colors, the outline in her features. And such a beautiful poem~~
