I love forests, firelight, words, my family, nerdy stuff & Jesus. I am learning and looking for re-enchantment. I know I am loved and held by God. INFJ/4

One of the hardest things for artists is finding a community of kindred friends. There's so much loneliness in the art world. So what do you do if you don’t have good friends or you're frustrated with the community that you've got? Here's a prayer to pray: wdavidotaylor.com/blog/an-artist…
“My hunch is that the beginning of my belief in the caring nature of God came from all of those people—all of those extraordinary, ordinary people who believed that I was more than I thought I was”

Joy and sorrow are this ocean And in their every ebb and flow Now the Lord a door has opened That all Hell could never close Here I'm tested and made worthy Tossed about but lifted up In the reckless raging fury That they call the love of God

A prayer to the One who sojourns with us in the painful, silent and often-dark in-between-ness of our own lives.
Having one of those nights where my body needs to cry but I can't manage it so I'm borrowing feelings from sad folk song playlists. Wish me luck?
Do you know what stirs the greatest awe in humans? No, it's not nature. Those sunsets and waterfalls do move us but not most of all. We are most wowed by other humans who brave something, persevere hardship, or live with "moral beauty." I love this!

The healing we need in the world will not come through disseminating more information; it will come through interpersonal presence. God did not send an updated version of the Ten Commandments. Instead, God came in a physical, vulnerable, wound-able body.
I think the soul longs for wonder in the same way we thirst for water. Wonder reminds us both that there is far more than ourselves in this universe & that we, in ourselves, are walking wonders. (art by Amy Grimes)
