Titled Soul Journey this mural was done by Precita Eyes in 2000. It was designed by their director, Susan Kelk Cervantes and executed by Ronnie Goodman, Tomashi Red Jackson, “Diallo” John H. Jones, Dan Macchiarini and Mel Simmons.
Under the fawn it reads: Home sickness on a quiet night…on the ground before my bed is spread the bright moonlight, but I take it for frost, when I wake up at the first light. Then I look up at the bright full moon in the sky suddenly homesickness strikes me as I bow my head with a deep sigh.

In the waves of this panel you can read this:
The soul journey of tears has slowed from people’s eyes for many years
The soul journey of tears has dropped to the ground forced through cultivated soil that has transformed their lives and wiped away their sorrow and pain from their lives.
This soul journey of tears have given us new meaning to life. By R. Goodman

Such power in those images! What beautiful colors. Seems to be truly painted from the heart.
Wow – beautifully done and such wonderful sentiments.
Fantastic mural! My favourite detail is the second shot.
