Find and Prepare {...a poem...}

Find and Prepare

I do not so much make art

as I find art

in scraps of gab

the dialogue of children

an atlas a map

the moon 

metaphor

I can prepare for art

a little

turn my back on distraction

to face full-on

this ordinary life

finding the divine

in the daily

My Newest Project: “Middle Kindling | A Collection of Audio Meditations To Stoke Your Creative Recovery”

I am in the creation-phase of a brand new collection of audio meditations.   

This particular collection is for women “in the middle” who find themselves in a creative/artistic dry place.  This collection will minister to women whose creative springs have been choked by grief or depression or the non-stop, titanic waves of transition that tend to characterize midlife.  

These brief audio meditations will be delivered Monday-Friday, over the course of one month (4 weeks).  They will launch in May, but will be available after May as a digital product that you can register for and join at any time.  You will then receive your first Middle Kindling meditation on the following Monday, and then daily after that, M-F format, for four successive weeks. 

This collection will also include a surprise or two...at least one art instructional video, and a beautiful, downloadable transcript of each day’s devotional.  

My first collection of audio meditations entitled “Middle Distance” is receiving wonderful reviews.  I have every reason to pray and believe that this second audio collection will minister to the listeners as much and more as the first collection.
