While I was playing with symbols and Zentangle, it crossed my mind to do a cross.
Yet it symbolism has images and religious attachments that almost have me adverse to crosses. They just were not happy, joyful or kind in how they are depicted in religion.
Before I actually went ahead, I looked up different meanings of the cross....
"Crosses symbolize spirituality and healing. The four points of a cross represent self, nature, wisdom, and higher power or being. Crosses suggest transition, balance, faith, unity, temperance, hope, and life. They represent relationships and and a need for connection to something."
That is what the cross means to me.
I had fun adding color and design to the background.
"The symbolism of the Celtic cross (especially the equal-armed cross in which each protrusion is equidistant from the center) is indicative of the human desire to know and experience the unfolding mystery of life. We could say that mystery unfolds in a four-fold pattern in which the arms of the cross offer four ways to ascension, an invitation to objectively know Self, Nature, Wisdom and God."
Perhaps after working on this cross, I will come to see Crosses in a new light.
Each of us will hold the meaning that means something to you.
My crosses symbolize spirituality and healing...to me!
