This is from the colorful, calligraphic doodle series. Possibly done sometime in 2009. Can't say that I remember much about it except that I used the multi-colored pencil for some of the doodling. There's a quote for the new year sent to me by a friend. It's by John Greenleaf Whittier and what it says is:
No longer forward, nor behind
I look in hope or fear
But, grateful, take the good I find
The best of now and here.
I find many such quotations annoying at best, but this one hit me as something to aspire to. The best of now and here is all we really have to work with. Still a big challenge.
