Today more than ever it feels like we are being called to slip the ‘c’ from reactive to the front of the letter queue and make creative.
2014 – a project with the children of Luz Divina and Luz de Paraíso in Peru
2015 – Chuckling over what I wrote in 2015 to accompany this image: “New phone, new computer… Feeling like I want to crawl back into the old cocoons right now.”

“Seven Years of Wonder” is a daily look back at my creative journaling posts since 2014. I began this journey on Feb. 11, 2021, and hope to continue through Feb. 10, 2022. What am I learning about my art and faith journey thus far? What has remained constant? Where have I been changed? How is this impacting present and future art-making?
A deep bow of gratitude to you for keeping me company on this journey.

It seems to me you are most assuredly on a creative path with your writing, Jim, already following the voice in/of your heart. When the Grünewald Guild offers a course with Brittany Deininger, I would highly recommend checking it out. Brittany curates and guides an incredible contemplative writer’s experience. Here’s a glimpse inside her notebooks – https://www.gatherings.ink/her-notebook.
