Lifestrands Artworks
Images of Land, Life, & Spirit by Lawrence S. Falardeau
We are all intricately woven together
in a tapestry we call life.
One fabric united by common threads
Threads which rise from the earth
and reach beyond the stars
Threads which cross all barriers
and touch the hearts of all people
