A mentor mentioned the following poem to me today and I can’t stop thinking about it.
What does it really mean to stand still? To be here? I think I’m slowly learning this. But only very slowly.
Lost
Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here, And you must treat it as a powerful stranger, Must...

An Act Of Confession
blainehogan:
A few months ago I led our community (and Story 2009) through a time of confession. I’ve been messing around with plexiglass since seeing this Bright Eyes video a number of years ago, although I had never tried it live until recently. While the medium has adapted over the years, I find that there is something interesting and sacred about not using your voice. Especially when...

Jess exclaims...

Fave part: No one wants the shepherd part of David’s life. The idea of being alone, in a field, for years with a bunch of sheep doesn’t inspire anyone. You can’t put that on a poster. You can’t fire up a crowd with tales from the quiet years of David’s life. But the truth is, you don’t get Goliath David without Shepherd David. Before he fought a giant, he wrestled bears. Before he became a king,...

resolve.
it’s January 1. Time for a couple resolutions. I’m not big on these usually, but then I am also easily influenced…if it’s by people I deeply respect. And sometimes I read things from people who I think so highly of, which I did today. Thus, I am making a couple resolutions after stumbling onto a couple important reminders.
