In this raw and tender space, take a moment to breathe into the stillness. Then focus your mind’s eye on what you want to create. Tomorrow belongs to the dreamers and the believers. I’ll see you there. We got this. Regeneration acrylic on panel 2013 by @autumnskyeart #regeneration #renewal #growth #griefandgrowth #newtomorrow See more
