Day 12: Rainbows and All the Light We Cannot See

-

  Well, I've spent at least half of today trying to create a rainbow! And wouldn't you know it, it's quite hard for a human to create one. It's been pretty gloomy here in Portland, OR. So I thought why not try and create a rainbow in the place that I like the least? My kitchen sink. I played around with a flash light for A LONG TIME. But it's been so fun using my lense to soften and create beauty in my everyday mess. I'm really looking forward to experimenting more with this when the sun comes out. :) But for now, as November is upon me, there's a prayer that I like to pray while I'm at my kitchen sink: Let my work be my prayer, and my prayer my work.  I'd like to include my instructor Joy's wisdom for chasing rainbows. This is wisdom that emerges after decades of practice, lessons for the soul without letting all the technicalities get in the way. 1. Keep your eyes fully open - practice the crucial art of paying attention.  2. Look to the light....

Day 32: Cartography/ For the Ones Looking for Meaning

  "We are the map makers,  tracing lines of a land that others cannot see. The uncharted and the unresolved,  there be dragons here.  There be shadow and nightmare.  There be wonders. There be more beauty  than you can contain... Come sail with me." "God comes to us disguised as our life." -Paula D'Arcy  I too have always found deep meaning for my life within natural landscapes.  A vast, wide open frozen tundra, where the harshness of the elements keeps me awake, the stillness let's me breathe in wonder, the almost blinding brightness let's me know my limit, while my feet still tread on spacious ground. As Oscar Wilde said, go be yourself, everybody else is already taken. I truly am the only person who sees what I see, who feels what I feel, who can take in an experience and come away with an entirely different perspective than someone else in that same experience.  Where the healing and redemption happens is when someone else reaches out the...

Day 30: Your Own "This is Your Life " Gallery Exhibit

  I went and baptized myself in beauty. Leaving, embracing  Silhouettes in motion. Push, carve, create  this path. My life is not just small twirling motions. It can be big if that's what it is. Small and quiet have their moment in the early morning dew. Blooming and saying yes have their time at twilight. I reach back as I step out to find who I am.  To baptize myself again in child-like giddiness. He did say let the little children come to Me for theirs is the Kingdom. I wander. I see things close and difficult to come to. I play. I'm beckoned to rise. All Rise, all Rise, all Rise.  It's a sin to kill a mockingbird and maybe the only way we can see things from somebody else's view is to  crawl around in his skin for awhile.  I don't always do what's right but I desire to. Thank God He doesn't look at our outsides.  So if I had a gallery of my life I'd want it to be like this - I'd have jazz playing, twinkle lights,  It'd be warm and intimat...
