Echo 1 2 3 4

This poem by Martha's friend, poet Darlene Lasher, was read by Martha Chatelain as part of her talk for the opening of the "Expressions of Faith" exhibition at the Minthorne Gallery, George Fox University, Newburg OR, November 10 - December 8, 2011.

 

Paper petals,

still undulations

softly curving break open

with the color of life

enriching the

white on white.

Equal presence

of all four sides,

the whole number

of earth elements,

seasons, compass points

and the unspoken

sign of the cross

bring order

to what is separate,

a constant source

of stability,

unity, grace.
