today i packed up my art supplies and had a creative picnic. it was so nice outside today i couldn't resist...and i find nature so inspiring. i sprawled out in the grass and doodled, painted, journaled, and read.
so thankful spring is finally here.
and i read this today...(it's by Frederich Buechner in his book "Telling the Truth: The Gospel as Tragedy, Comedy and Fairy Tale."
"It is a world of magic and mystery, of deep darkness and flickering starlight. It is a world where terrible things happen and wonderful things too. It is a world where goodness is pitted against evil, love against hate, order against chaos, in a great struggle where often it is hard to be sure who belongs to which side because appearances are endlessly deceptive. Yet for all its confusion and wildness, it is a world where the battle goes ultimately to the good, who live happily ever after, and where in the long run everybody, good and evil alike, becomes known by his true name...That is the fairy tale of the Gospel, with of course, one crucial difference from all other fairy tales, which is that the claim made for it is true, that if not only happened once upon a time but has kept on happening ever since and is happening still."
Good reminder of how we are involved in something bigger than us. And I love to explore my imagination in that and draw out the pictures in my head and put them on paper ... letting art be an act of worship.
By the way, this guy is my new favorite. Listen to his coffeeshop love song and swoon with me. http://www.myspace.com/landonpiggmusic
