The Santa Cruz Dove Mandala

I colored this Dove mandala while attending a recovery spiritual retreat in the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains. I had brought a bunch of print outs from this site and some of the ladies were coloring with me while we were on a break during a lecture. The priest who was lecturing noticed my I AM piece (also found on this site) and began to speak about Moses. He kept my art work and made a joke about keeping it and not feeling guilty over it. His lecture was interesting and centered around recovery from alcohol. It was at his lecture I heard the prayer of St Francis for the first time. It is now a favorite of mine. Ruby
