So here in Florida, turtle nesting season is upon us. Ancient turtles, swimming vast distances, will leave the ocean for one night. They'll build their nests, release their eggs, and then leave as mysteriously as they arrived. The little ones will have to fend for themselves when their time comes. Just below the surface of our lives, we too shift and churn in mysterious ways, somehow guided within a wise framework of connections, epiphanies, and inner simplicity and trust that there is something far greater going on.
This 12 by 12 linocut was carved just a few hundred yards from the ocean. May the blessings of the ancients be with us as we continue on our course. Have a great week!

Hi Nicola,
This image is so calming-- which I need right now! I love how it connects us to something greater than ourselves. It's really beautiful!
all the best, Vivian
Beautiful!
This is so beautiful, and I love that you actually do these by hand instead of digitally. I'm interested in watching the process...I'll have to see if you have any step-by-step posts about it. If not, you might consider it!
Amazing! great work.
Great subject and beautifully made!
Nicola, The sweet comment you left on my Etegami blog disappeared during the Blogger maintenance troubles yesterday. So sorry! :(
How you've captured the flow of life here Nicola. Wonderful - those turtles certainly work hard.
All that churning is only a process of separation...like that of butter from milk...lovely turtles!
