Check out the details of this mural in my close up shots shown below.
I found this mural on the side of the Goodwill building in downtown Cottonwood.
The mural artist is Joan Bourque and these websites:

provide more examples of her works and explains the focus and intent of her art projects.
And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, "Speak to us of Children." And he said:Your children are not your children.They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.They come through you, but not from you, and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; for even as He loves the arrow that flies, so he loves also the bow that is stable.
-Kahlil Gibran
Life can be full of one great discovery after another!
