signage

inspired by Pip's post, I created my own beach signage...
what does this say to you?
am often surprised by the evolution of the piece as I work on it...
liking the symbols cropping up here...
do you see them too?

Blessings friends,

Drawing Near

The kiss of sun for pardon, 
the song of birds for mirth,
One is nearer God's heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on earth.

Mom's Flying Lesson

Lighting candles has been a part of my mom's prayer life for a long time.  
When I asked her what saying she'd like on her angel card she requested the above...  
Just Perfect!

All I did was light the candles.
Did God find me or did I find God?
Hush.
The time for words is past.

- Barbara Brown Taylor
An Altar in the World

Blessings on all of your prayers my friends,

wearing skin

Above all, I am happy for practices that bring me back to my body, where the operative categories are not 'bad' and 'good' but 'dead' and 'alive'.  As hard as I have tried to be good all my life-as hard as I try to be good even now - my heart leans more and more toward that which gives life, whether it is conventionally good or not.  There are times when dancing on tables grants more life than kneeling in prayer.  More to the point, there are times when dancing on tables is the most authentic prayer in reach, even if it pocks the table and clears the room.

-excerpt from An Altar in the World by Barbara Brown Taylor

Blessings my friends  (especially the table dancing Jules),

create

Each of us has the God-given power to create. We use this power, consciously or unconsciously, every day. In thought, word and attitude, we are constantly affirming--speaking into being--outcomes. It is up to us to choose whether we affirm Truth and abundance, love and joy, wisdom and health--or their lack.

Blessings on all of your affirmations my friends,
