Here is how I saw it.

And the graceful aires of the violin playing over the fields at Blarney Castle.
You can play dead.
You can be in a play
You can even play in a band.

Always remember… “When we engage in what we are naturally suited to do, our work takes on the quality of play and it is play that stimulates creativity. “
Linda Naiman  

As I said earlier today, it’s all work and it’s all play if you enjoy it!

This seems like a challenge right up my alley. I am wholly indebted to the cross of Christ. My life is lived in light of the cross of Calvary! I am nothing without His cross or his resurrection!

“LOOKING

The world goes by, and what have I to do with it? I merely observe how the geese stretch their necks towards the orange rim of sky. I watch how light fades and children make their way home, hungry and tired. The bushes outside become ghosts while baths run and kitchen windows steam up with the cooking. This is the smell of our home, where I have a place in the wrinkled hours making beds and hugging boys awake. This is the sound of the house where I feel out lives into words, translate ragged nights and days into something whole, or try to. You may look if you wish….. The world goes by, and what have you or I to do with it, except perhaps for looking… ?”
