Four treasures

Art by Enno Tyedmers

Ink, brush, ink stone and paper have been known and used in Chinese brush painting for thousands of years. The brush is the extension of the artist’s heart, the paper the friend. Without ink no picture could emerge.

When practiced…

“When practiced, Sabbath keeping is an active protest against a culture that is always on, always available and always looking for something else to do.“ ~ Stephen W. Smith

How do you practice sabbath?

Lighting up

“When we look at the dreams that light up our heart,we grow the picture they paint as a go-to place.Then we say, ‘But it isn’t possible.’ We say, ‘That’s not my life.’ We say, ‘That’s just what I’d LIKE to happen, not what’s possible.’The dream should not die, just because I lack the power to make it possible. I need to identify other people who carry the same overwhelming vision, or whose heart-desires overlap with my own.” ~ Andy Raine, Northumbria

At peace

When we are at peace, we find the freedom to be most fully who we are, even in the worst of times. We let go of what is nonessential and embrace what is essential. We empty ourselves so that God may more fully work within us.“ ~ Cardinal Joseph Bernadin

How do you make room for that peace?
