Good morning…
“Hi, Sue,” she responds. “You ask what creative gifts give us strength during this season of sequestering.”
Artist, photographer, and dear, dear friend Corinne Adams shares with me her intriguing art while we are held apart: “I have discovered my own Walden’s pond in the woods next door. The “pond,” an abandoned swimming pool filled with water, leaves, and muck, invites me to arrange leaves and blooms on its surface. Such a wonderful meditative practice. This practice, coupled with photography, helps me see God’s creations from a variety of perspectives.”
Corinne’s art becomes her prayer: “Thank you, God, for this quiet and creative time in your beautiful world where muck supports great beauty.”
Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don’t be impressed with yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life (Galatians 6:4-5, MSG).
…Sue…
P.S. Thank you, Corinne, for giving me permission to share with our online community your gorgeous, God-inspired photos.
