Depicting my own spiritual journey at this stage of my life, this art quilt was inspired by the Irish monks who once rode the ocean waves in coracles as a spiritual discipline--without oar or sail, relying solely on the Spirit. Surely a most dangerous undertaking requiring much trust! Although I am not literally following their example, I wanted to capture the feelings I am experiencing on what is becoming the ride of my life. The title comes from Song of Songs 5:2.
