These accordions are painted in celebration our new origin story. They invite us to a fresh depth of seeing and to an awakened, living relationship with the earth and all its beings, human and other than human. As a student of biology, I studied evolution, invertebrate zoology, botany and geology, fascinated by the ages of the earth and the diversity and beauty of its many inhabitants, past and present. However it wasn’t until I learned about our common origins as told by the new story of the evolutionary universe, a story which includes the mystery of the nature of matter and its unfathomed interior depth that I awoke to a new understanding of my identity within an ancient, miraculous continuing story that is still being written. May we celebrate our new origin story as we are given a remarkable identity and may we embrace its invitation and its guidance to live in congruence with the wisdom and intelligence of our ancient home.
