April, what are you passionate about?

I have had the question posed to me often, “So, what are you passionate about? Truly passionate.” Here’s my answer in a photo essay, um if it embeds …..

I love the Lord, I love my family, I love people.Luke 10:27
He answered: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all [...]

Far country…

Meister Eckhart wrote, “God is at home. We are in the far country.” …

 
“It (the quote by Eckhart) expressed so simply the way I feel about life on this
earth, and my heart resounded with the truth of it,” recalls Peterson. “I loved
the way it turned my thinking [...]

What is that drawing….

“I wish there was anyone here childish enough
(or permanent enough, not the slave of his particular and outward age) to
share it with me. Is it that no man makes real friends after he has passed the
undergraduate age? … the question I am asking is why I meet no such men now. Is it that I [...]

An artist and brush
A seamstress and thread
It is the nature of Love to create
