Sabbath is an opening in the downpour of life. Stopping to withdraw from the never ending demands and anxiety of “not enough” and leaning into God’s more than enough.
How do you spend sabbath?
Sabbath
Nature
What does nature evoke in the shifting of seasons or location? How do we pay attention?
Clean pain
I have been pondering Resmaa Menakem’s concept of clean and dirty pain. “Paradoxically only by walking into our pain or discomfort- experiencing it, moving through it, and metabolizing it – can we grow.” ~ My Grandmother’s Hands
Where are your growing edges?
Decreasing possibilities
Every time we put a foot on a path, a pen to paper, or a brush to the canvas we narrow the options as the actual emerges from the imagination.
Is the sky really the limit?
Substance
Art should capture the hypostasis or “the substance of things hoped” that the writer of Hebrews speaks of, to serve our culture to reveal the “evidence of things not seen.” ~ Makoto Fujimura
How do you capture the substance of hope?
Uncertainty
“What has happened to our ability to dwell in unknowing, to live inside a question and coexist with the tensions of uncertainty?” ~ Sue Monk Kidd
