FAITH & ART

Yesterday I was cleaning my room, which I do fanatically lately...I love to have a clean room. Everything in its place. I found this paper cover magazine with the words Grunewald Guild on it. Looked like it came from the 80's so I thought to toss it...then looked more seriously on the issue date. 'Winter 2006' Huh, interesting. So I flipped through the pages. It was an art guild in Northwest US. How had they gotten my address? And it was a Christian organization. I intently read more and realized, wow this random find which was almost tossed sounds really cool. Unfortunately I had missed all the summer courses and opportunitites to volunteer my summer and recieve free board, free food, and a free art course every week. shucks. But, maybe I will continue to look into it. There is always next year.

Why do we see what we do as the day floats by. Why is it that sometimes our eyes are glued and minds get transfixed on images, a picture, a word, or a gesture. I know that God can speak through anything...and how fun if he is so tricky to speak secretly. If I want to hear God, I have to really watch, be awake, and be prepared.

I am craving to do more art, to just do it, create, to live in a community that celebrates my annointing. If Grunewald Guild is not even in my future, I know that my heart connects to something like it...and very close to it. That my heart beats wildly for a place to be me.

The mind realizing what the heart has long time felt...that's a revelation.
