Hope is the
great gift of a loving God. In The Garden of Hope,
second in my Gardens of Light collection, I
celebrate the bountiful blessing that is a hopeful
spirit. Radiance bathes a garden in the woods,
pouring down in a flood of light upon an ancient
stone urn that is a vessel of hope
The deeply
mysterious relationship between hope and sacrifice
is expressed in the symbolism of the urn. Central
is the Roman cross, bearing the visages of Mary and
Jesus. A magnificent spray of flowers bursts forth
from the urn. Surely, The Garden of Hope is a
garden lavish with new beginnings.
