“There’s a deeper fire.” That was the message received while working on this painting of a burn scar on a tree. grateful for another amazing week of art, faith and community at the @grunewaldguild #vondadreesart
“Our lives flow unceasingly in that unknown deep where all that is necessary is to love and to accept the present moment as the best, with perfect trust in God’s universal goodness.” ~Jean Pierre de Caussade, The Sacrament of the Present Moment #openingdoors #deep #mystery #trust #presence #vondadreesart

Let us be aware of the source of being that is common to us all and to all living creatures. (Silence) Let us be filled with the presence of the great compassion towards ourselves and towards all living beings. (Silence) Realizing that we are all nourished from the same source of life, may we so live that others be not deprived of air, food, water, shelter, or the chance to live. (Silence) ~from The Anglican Church, Aotearoa, New Zealand, Polynesia Light and love ~ giving itself away... giving itself a way. #light #love #flow #vondadreesart
“A part of what one knows, apart from what one knows, God goes belonging to every riven thing [God]’s made.” ~Christian Wiman #riven #fullness #vondadreesart
“Yet I saw once / The woven light of which all these are made / Otherwise than this. To have seen / Is to know always.” ~Kathleen Raine We are walking, talking miracles... seeing beings. #transfiguration #light #vondadreesart
“Faith is an orientation of your life... one of the ways that we can know that our spiritual inclinations are valid is that they lead us out of ourselves.” ~Christian Wiman #livingwater #riveroflife #flow #riverflow #vondadreesart
The Peace of Wild Things ~by Wendell Berry When despair for the world grows in me / and I wake in the night at the least sound / in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, / I go and lie down where the wood drake / rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. / I come into the peace of wild things / who do not tax their lives with forethought / of grief. I come into the presence of still water. / And I feel above me the day-blind stars / waiting with their light. For a time / I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. So grateful for this past week of learning encaustics and experiencing visual poetry at the @grunewaldguild with Lanecia Rouse Tinsley of @larartstudio. #grace #freedom #creativity #encaustics #vondadreesart
