Painting by Pnina Cohen Gagnon (Montreal)
This particular painting struck me the most... It a MODERN shoe in the expected place of an ancient sandal.
"So when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am." Then He said, "Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground." Moreover He said, "I am the God of your father; the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God."
This painting placed the story/command/thoughts in OUR day...

RHOnda visited this Sacred Site three (3) times: once with the Chaplaincy, once with TOny, and once with "Margaret", my sewing friend from PatternReview.com. Of course, each person brought their specific/special input into this massive project...
The Quilt of Belonging is a massive undertaking. EACH & EVERY country that has one (or more!) immigrant to Canada is represented her. Plus the First Nations.
The COLOURS, the TEXTURES, the interesting symbols of each nationality!! Oh, Canada, our home and mosaic land!!
