Vancouver Island, May 2019

This photo of lichen growing on a seaside rock alludes to a spiral. Only inches small it embodies a symbolic meaning of growth and creativity.

The spiral is a universal symbol. Moving inward in reflective moments it is possible to learn and relearn the truth about my own life and experiences. What have I learned? How have I grown? Has my inward creativity and inspiration moved outward for all to see? Have I evolved, bit by bit, over time, into the person I want to be?

I was very excited to find this timeless symbol in nature! Completely unexpected, it reminds me to keep open-my eyes, my senses, my expectations and thoughts to share with others.
