Chances are TikTok has editing ways to make rainbows appear. This one, though, surprised me the old fashioned way. :)

SOCIAL MEDIA:

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

“Waving a white flag, Black Hawk tried to surrender…” -from Wikipedia’s article on the Battle of Bad Axe Gracias a La Vida que me ha dado la amistad con hermana Sonia y hermano Francisco. Que descansen en la paz y en amor eterno. This morning after reading a reflection by Ian Mobsby on the open, missional church, I looked at my journal page and gave it a quarter turn. It prompted me to google “why did fish grow legs?” The response, “to help them navigate shallow water, maneuver through dense vegetation, and EVENTUALLY move across land.” This place has known pain. “The sacred is not elsewhere. It is woven through exchanges, through the reciprocity of soil and root, river and rain, grief and renewal. … To remember that even in times of unraveling, the world continues its patient work of weaving new relations from what has come apart. … The Earth, as she so often does, reminds us that culmination and descent belong to the same story.” —Shannon Willis Manna… What is this? One among many Seeds bow, boats leave wakes. A couple days ago I was sharing with a neighbor about Wendell Berry’s book, Jayber Crow. Jayber Crow is a town barber and mystic of Port William, Kentucky, who tells his life story of belonging and homecoming.
