Transform

as darkness recedes

the emerging light reveals

a forgotten dream

3 atc trades atop lost and found journal page

These cards were created to swap with an ATC group.  The theme this time is 'transform.'
The cards are sitting on a journal spreadwith a 1944 photo of Japanese American men

who resisted being drafted into the army after they were interned.  They were taken from their
family and interned separately.  It was a sad and difficult period for the Japanese Americans
and for all of my family.  From this painful experience came some good:  a sense of commitment

to believe in the strength their convictions,  pride in their heritage, joy in the present moment,

 and trust in the inherent love within family.

My family and the Japanese Americans 

transformed 

the war experience, moved on 

and taught their children to do the same.  

Transformation means possibility.

With possibility comes hope.

With hope there is joy.
