Instagram holds many seasons of my creative contemplation. It continues to be a place I share fresh ink, and I'd be delighted to meet you there!

Grateful for a visit with Paul @pauldrees and Anna @askowand in MN. Yesterday we toured Danebod Lutheran and their Folk School where Paul has begun serving as interim pastor. A while ago I asked for visual imagery that represented breath. One friend responded “a weeping willow tree wafting in the wind.” “There are infinitely many kinds of beautiful lives.” -Maria Popova, Figuring The fourfold path for healing caused me to wonder what would happen if the golden spiral was repeated four times on the page. I’ll also add that the areas under the spirals’ curves have been reminding me of the command in the Old Testament about leaving the edges/corners of fields unharvested. “We are what happens when Love meets dust.” -Alana Levandoski …on my desk at the moment Image created while listening to Charles Foster read his essay, “Against Nature Writing” found here - https://emergencemagazine.org/essay/against-nature-writing/. Powered by the breath What visual imagery represents breath to you?

You can also view my work on Pinterest. Here's an image from my recent journaling through The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story.
