Our SoulShiners constantly surprise me with their observations of the world and how it shows in their imagination. When playing cards with 4 year-old Olivia, I shuffled the deck and let her deal them out. She slowly turned over a Queen card and asked me in the most sincere manner, "Why is the King higher than the Queen when she's the one that has the babies?" I paused, processing the question, then chuckled a little at how profound it truly was! I gave her a sly smile and replied, "I know! I've been trying to figure that out my whole life!" Olivia's words stuck with me, and I created an artwork in honor of that oh-so-important question!
