“Every carbon atom in your body was forged in the collapse of ancient stars. … Today the ash tells the truth again: You are dust. …every person you meet carries the same holy material. Remembering that will not solve every conflict. But forgetting it has created most of them.” —Cameron Trimble, https://open.substack.com/pub/camerontrimble/p/marked-with-stars?r=6pefc&utm_medium=ios You are loved, Stardust, “[A] blessing has a kind of flow, a current on which it travels. It moves both within us and beyond us, something to be passed along rather than kept only for ourselves.” —Jan Richardson, from the preface of How The Stars Get In Your Bones In addition to the Watercolor Cosmos class, May 10-15, 2026, I’ll also be teaching Mandalas in Watercolor, June 7-13, 2026. “An ancient literary form that appears across spiritual traditions, a blessing is a distinctive, sometimes poetic constellation of words designed to call upon and convey God’s deep desire for our wholeness, both individually and in community. A blessing… arises from and depends on relationship, the connections that hold us together.” —Jan Richardson, from the preface of her book, How The Stars Get In Your Bones It’s no spectacle. “The earth softens. Light stretches longer across the sky. Somewhere between what is held and what is released, creation stirs.” —from the description of Spring Sacred Arts on the Grunewald Guild website Pigment and water When your art practice
