…that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. —Psalm 30:12 Letting loose gratitude, believing goodness exists, recognizing we have gifts, good gifts that are worth celebrating, having faith in a hope that never fails… It is love, the messy, full measure of love, the fruit and lasting truth of love that encouragesContinue reading “Each Day”

Thanks to Give
Give thanks to him who made the heavenly lights— His faithful love endures forever. — Psalm 136:7 I see the noon sun through a favorite tree, this bur oak that is letting loose leaves and acorns, returning humus to the earth, a cycle of renewal which requires rest, and these changing leaves and thinning treesContinue reading “Thanks to Give”
Pink
Pink shows love, pink imbues the purity and the heartthrob, pink shows love. A ribbon in a swirl with a loop of infinity — a symbol with no ending, boundless empathy, the eternal pattern… this is love — to pray unceasingly for a cure. —C.L. Fisher, November 2021
Light Will Break
We are all broken — that’s how the light gets in. — Unknown If you wait, light will break in the most splendid ways, and to be still in that bright focus of a truth that has never stopped changes everything. —C.L.

A Glorious Splendor

The Longing Hours
“Other sound than the owl’s voice there was none, save the falling of a fountain into its stone basin; for it was one of those dark nights that hold their breath by the hour together, and then heave a long low sigh, and hold their breath again.” — Charles Dickens. Some nights I keep companyContinue reading “The Longing Hours”
Familiar Rhythms
After a trial, once the storm has passed, those hours after your heart has been beating so fast, in the still-falling hush once you can breathe again, you find solace in the simplest gifts, the quiet of evening, your own favorite chair, the way sunset casts light through a parted curtain, and you settle intoContinue reading “Familiar Rhythms”
A Vast Vision
The Lord merely spoke, and the heavens were created. He breathed the word, and all the stars were born. — Psalm 33:6 I turned this image upside down, imagining the clouds from heaven’s perspective and I was surprised how endless it seemed without the grounding of a horizon— my angle starting above the skyline— andContinue reading “A Vast Vision”
