I love waking before sunrise. The birds all sing the most beautiful symphony to the rising of the sun. As I sit with my first cup of coffee of the day, I consider what Vivaldi must have been inspired by to Compose his Four Seasons. What it was for Monet to sit at the side of the lake staring into the water which inspired his beautiful water lilies and for Georgia O’Keefe to paint her beautiful red canna and calla lilies. I walk with a slight skipping beat in the woods — in hand and heart with the Spirit in which Gwen Frostic must have skipped too as she collected the sketches that became her iconic wood block prints. It is the Spirit of Creation and I’m grateful that I can see and feel it’s musings in sight and sinew — even as I experience the creaking joinings of well-worn age. Creative musings are ageless — the Spirit of Creation is ever appreciated. As we may capture only a brief reflection, our heart sings and we grow ever more appreciative too — chasing the musings of life and love. Come Holy Spirit. Fill us to overflowing. Teach us to ever appreciate Your muses — Your creation. Teach us to reflect them so brightly that others cannot help wanting to skip to the beat of your symphony. #spiritpilgrim #pilgrimspirit #trusttheprocess #muse #georgiaokeefe #gwenfrostic #vivaldifourseasons #sunrise #thomasmerton #2corinthians https://www.instagram.com/p/CCDliD6BBGy/?igshid=qx7yvdm3tklh

What did I learn in 2020? If you don’t get quiet when God says, “messy, be quiet,” a world can lock down and say “aaahhhhhggggrrrggghhh” and then ... the whisper a soft, “ahhhhhhh.” Nature was built to resist the unnatural; it was built to heal and care for itself. It knows when to change migration patterns and senses when something is about to change. Nature sings when you are simply a part of it. Also when you are ready; after you’ve been quiet, you can hear the concert turn into each separate instrument. You will appreciate the fullness of each in part and whole. Nature is the strongest and most reailient and majestic force there is. On Earth, each element afforded has essential and divine purpose. This year some elements have sped up, and some have slowed down considerably. Some have been halted and some removed. Technology, I have learned, is an unnatural element. It is what we use to either appreciate or escape nature. It should be used with extreme caution. And it should take the smallest space in a natural life. Or one day you will find, it’s all that is left. A footprint of what was once real but is now just a stream of data about a species that was removed by its own nature. #spiritpilgrim #pilgrimspirit #nature #audubon #gwenfrostic #robertfrost #rockportfulton #morninginspiration #trustgod #inspiration #godskid #matthew6 (at Rockport, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJivJCzhVlX/?igshid=1u1utxt2gdpfb
