My birthday is next week, and I’ve learned to ask for cards and mail art if I want any sort of celebration. I posted a note in my blog asking for a little postal love, and one of the packages that arrived early contained a handful of tiny square collages, and a note telling me to give them a try. I’m never one to pass up a challenge, so I decided to dive right in. The pieces I received were all 1″ squares, which I initially thought was just too insanely small to even consider.

Many of the symbols in these small shrines are so personal, so idiosyncratic, so discreet that very few other people would recognize their purpose, which is how I prefer it to be. You don't need to know why that stone, that arrangement of dried grass, that spray of berries, or that old envelope are there. These are my 'domesticated' shrines. In addition to my personal holy places at home and in my garden, I sometimes visit community holy places - churches, stone circles, et cetera.
