During a visit to Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, Florida, we spent time creating art and music at their children’s garden.
I found instant tranquility in the watercolors placed on the pint-sized work table. Similarly, my sons dove into their projects.
Another child, maybe three or four years old, sat with me to create shapes no more complex than my own.
After his mom coaxed him back to his group, I noticed what he had painted. It was a padlock that had a heart in the space between the shank and the body (learning lifestyle bonus point: I had to look up the names of those parts). Children are clued into a deeper level of existence. Heart imagery has been trailing me for days and I know this is God’s way of refocusing me on love.
Meanwhile, the Zerbey creations were a bit more wild.
