Beauty in a Time of Dryness

These are dry times. Summer slips away faster than you can catch it – a dime down the drain. The sky hangs damp and icy today. Across the globe, powerful little men toy with the world’s future like it’s a game of chicken. Hurricanes have ravaged large parts of our earth. Families will suffer the effects for years to come. Terrorists won’t let London sleep. 

This planet can get so ugly. So broken. So disordered. So many of our mirrors are shattered.

There is order in beauty. A divine order, I believe, but whatever your theology you can feel it. The affirmation of disparate parts falling into place. 

Jennifer Berkenbosch’s Cultivar matters because the world needs beauty today. We need to be reminded that there is goodness. There is a solid bed beneath this wild river.

Lent and the Art of Listening

Artist, who are you? 

What do you have to give? 

Can you answer?

We are waiting for your strange and beautiful shimmer. Will you shine for us?

Perhaps you don’t feel shiny today. Perhaps you don’t know how to peel back your skin for the gold beneath. 

Perhaps there is too much noise for you to hear your heartbeat.

“The present state of the world, the whole of life, is diseased.
If I were a doctor and were asked for my advice, I would reply:
‘Create silence! Bring men to silence.
The Word of God cannot be heard in the noisy world of today.
Create silence.'”

Soren Kierkegaard

Enter Lent.

For artists, Lent is a journey well worth taking. A journey towards something powerful.
