In her dreams
she gambols with lambs—
white and black.

Holy Shepherdess,
lead us to the rivulet,
where your sheep may drink.

    It’s peaceful, almost like folk art. Mexican folk art I guess, but the colors are so soft and unusual.

    What a spectacular piece of art in its soft, pastel colors–the divine shepherdess, keeping white and black sheep safe. I’ve long had an affinity for sheeps and lambs and when I decorated my tree last night, I loved each lamb and sheep I hung.

    The shepherdess tends to her flock in a loving way, teaching and providing direction to ewe and lamb alike. Caring and caressing, she attends to all keeping them all safe – and the wool borne creatures appreciate her presence…
