A Weekend of Contemplating...
I had time this weekend to sort through old files - and
found the above quote saved...I remember placing it on a Christmas type photo
at Christmas time; the quote was found on a blog encouraging us to focus on the
truly important things at Christmas time, as opposed to the "perfect"
Christmas...
But I found myself considering - the way we approach
Christmas probably isn't different than the way we approach the rest of our
lives...perhaps it is just illuminated at Christmas, the intensity of the
season causing what is already within to be squeezed to the top of
consciousness, where we cannot ignore it...
And being the birthday weekend, and seeing how sweet tweener
is growing, I am so aware of how quickly time can pass - I want to grasp each
and every moment - to savor these days like one savors the perfect cup of
coffee...to stop, look, listen - and record with images and words each gift....
So - I thought the quote was perfect for every day - and
used this sweet gift of time to make subway art (which I love - a great modern
way to capture words!) from the found Christmas quote - art for all year - art
to remind me to choose the better path...
Pausing and giving thanks for these
things:
the wonderfully restful weekend we

and breathe and have our being..."
