Saadeka Eternal

2007

​

"I belong to no race nor time.

I am the eternal feminine with its string of beads." ~ Zora Neale Hurston

​

This quote and this quilt speaks to the life of the Mother Spirit.

We are life, before life,

LIFE

and life after life...

​

This piece is dedicated to my sister friend,

Miriam Saadeka Joyner-Chandler

Some people have goodness in their hearts,

Sister Saadeka is goodness made manifest.

And now she is forever eternal.
