Art is not imposing creativity on a world already overflowing with beauty and color, but chiming the tone of your soul and finding resonance in those touched by the sound.
-
I am caught in the tug-of-war between idealism and reality. Writing and painting resolve the tension and permit life to proceed forward with some semblance of order.
I consider Jesus to be the designer of my abilities, and therefore seek to glorify Him in my life in both practical and creative choices. He rescues that which is beyond redemption, so I trust He’ll creatively abolish or cleanse any foolishness or sin that mar my ability to represent Him.

Don't Cry
Don’t cry near me / Because I might see / And think I know what you’re feeling.
Phantom of the Idyllic Life
You held / a mask … / sharp-thorned vines … / minding the intricacy / of the shape. I accepted the cuts, / an unintended result / of brushing / too close / to nature
Frozen Time
I touched time today. A wisp of gossamer wing / grazed my fingertips / and as I grasped / the single strand, / a chill spread.
This Sensation
Someone stuffed my head / with cotton / and / dangled a lure / down my throat. I’m not sure if they thought / they’d catch something
Warming Cup
this cup has held / flavor, / warmth, / fluid / pouring down my throat / between words, / phrases, / comfortable sentences / shared with you.
Centipede Mayhem
‘Twas a long-legged blur / as, over my floor, / it scuttled and scampered / past the dining room door.
