The main background image is a rock wall with mineral deposits, found while hiking up a dormant volcano on the island of Faial in the Azores. Layered over that are three images of three different types of lichen, all from Nova Scotia. The trees are from an area which had experienced two forest fires the previous year, near my moms’ place in Nova Scotia. While the burnt trees seemed sad to me at first, when I looked down at the forest floor I was amazed to see a carpet of nearly fluorescent new growth. This piece is about the rebirth and regrowth that comes after what seems at the time to be dark and difficult times. The title is from a song I knew as a teenager (dark and difficult times to be sure!) - you can listen to it here.
