minds in motion.
I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process. Vincent Van Gogh

My coming to faith did not start with a leap but rather a series of staggers from what seemed like one safe place to another. Like lily pads, round and green, these places summoned and then held me up while I grew. Each prepared me for the next leaf on which I would land, and in this way I moved across the swamp of doubt and fear.

There is nothing insignificant in the world. It all depends on the point of view. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Contrition
“He died, as the Spanish phrase has it, full of illusions. He had not had time in his life to lose any of them, nor even, at the end, to complete an act of contrition. He had not even had time to be disappointed in the Garbo picture which disappointed all Madrid for a week.”
(The Capital of the World)”

putty yellow
Try to forget what objects you have before you – a tree, a house, a field, or whatever.

Claude Monet
night finds
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.
T. S. Eliot
