Where I'm Finding Inspiration

These days I'm finding inspiration in places where beauty emerges in the midst of brokenness -- as in a flower pushing up through cracked pavement, or the shimmer of a resilient spirit in the face of challenge. I love a starry sky at night, music to soothe the soul or spark the imagination, a candle or a campfire in the darkness, the wash of waves along the shore.

What I Do For Fun, Rest, and Renewal

Meaningful conversations where you loose all track of time. Getting lost in a good book. Walking around the lake. Taking in a great performance of a play or a concert. Deeply listening to another person.
