“Mysteries, YES!” – 8″ x 10″ Matted Linocut Print

It’s becoming increasingly challenging to stay attuned to the mysteries and marvels of our days. We’re quick to label and categorize, to assume and move on, to distract ourselves and dissociate. Unfortunately, in doing so, we often miss something essential about being alive in the world. May this print inspire you and your loved ones to choose curiosity over judgment, and lull you awake to rediscover the joyful mysteries all around.

Measuring 8″ x 10″ matted, “Mysteries, YES!” has been hand-drawn, carved, and printed onto Mulberry paper that has been dyed Lime Peel green using all-natural pigments. It was printed using Black and Earth Green light-fast vegetable-oil based ink.

Please Note: All orders are dispatched within 1-3 working days, protected in a cellophane sleeve, and posted in a board-backed envelope. If you intend your purchase to be a gift, just say the word! Gift-giving is one of my primary love-languages, so it warms my heart to help facilitate that process for others.

Fun Fact: “Mysteries, YES!” was inspired by a Mary Oliver poem of the same name, which can be read in full below:

Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous
to be understood.

How grass can be nourishing in the
mouths of the lambs.
How rivers and stones are forever
in allegiance with gravity
while we ourselves dream of rising.
How two hands touch and the bonds will
never be broken.
How people come, from delight or the
scars of damage,
to the comfort of a poem.

Let me keep my distance, always, from those
who think they have the answers.

Let me keep company always with those who say
“Look!” and laugh in astonishment,
and bow their heads.
