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. 

Beauty in a Time of Dryness

valentines day

Dear Artist, Be My Valentine

Dear artist, will you be mine?

Be my eyes, when I need to see the world as you see the world.

Be my ears, when I need to hear a voice snuffed out by noise.

Be my imagination, when skies have grown too gray and clouds are only clouds.

Be my example of the sacrifice and suffering that paves the road to a broken beauty.

Be my companion in the solitary depths of being misunderstood. 

Be my reminder that the work of my hands can bring so much more than money.

Be my metaphor for love - that crazy-making every-morning challenge.

Be my beauty.

 

Be mine.
