seeing Christ and odds and ends

I love this painting made by a 9 year old. She is currently 12 and doing amazing work. I cried as i stared into his eyes.

and a lovely quote: 

"I will not die an unlived life.

I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire.

I choose to inhabit my days to allow my living to open me,

to make me less afraid,

more accessible,

to loosen my heart,

until it becomes a wing,

a torch, a promise.

I choose to risk my significance;

to live so that which came to me as seed

goes to the next as blossom,

and that which came to me as blossom

goes on as fruit." ~ Donna Markova

another great quote:

“Sometimes you have to burn your house down to see the moon.”
