Contemplating the meanderings of this mosaic I recalled the quote: “Not all those who wander are lost…” I hear a journey of discovery and hope implied. The quote is found in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, and the poem reads in part,

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
