A woman drumming joyfully as she evolves from living through her mind into living through her heart. It is said that the hardest journey in life is the journey we make as human beings from the control of the constant chatter our minds to living life from the peace, beauty, harmony, and unity of our hearts. On her left is an elephant which symbolizes matriarchy, community, and living in the present while honoring the past and the future. On her right is a horse which symbolizes our strength, resilience, loyalty, and perseverance.
