Wishing Wells - The Expansion Project

this is the beginning of a long term project
intended to manifest the hopes and dreams
of a collectively created existence





like the coin that represents a most desired intention
when tossed into a body of water,
causes a rippling effect




carrying a dream into infinity



with our wishes for love, for peace, for equality
we can create JUST WORLD

a conception, a dream,
begins from a center
whether heart, mind, or body





vibrating outward, no longer just one
but ONE- part and whole

of personal and shared aspirations

letting light and inspiration pass through the intention
