When I lived in Germany (for 3 years, age 18-21), I was so busy with working and doing community theatre that I didn't make time to travel as much as I wanted ... got to Spain, Austria, Switzerland, and all around Germany (including East Berlin back when the wall was up), but missed a great once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to backpack around the Mediterranean. <br /><br />How fun to see the area in which Francis lived ... I'd love to hear more about your trip. Was it also for ministry?<br /><br />Thanks for the well-wishes ... I'm pleased with the progress so far ... creativity under pressure (and with a looming deadline) is creativity nonetheless ... and I'm so stinkin' attached to the final products that I'm loathe to sell them! Wonder if I can just open a "museum" and charge folks to come and see...? Or maybe I could sell 'em and get visitation rights..?<br /><br />After the show, an antiques dealer in town wants me to sell them in her space on consignment ... she's so excited - it's a joy to see someone else enjoy my work -- when grown-ups jump with delight, and audiibly "ooh" and "ahhh" it's SO rewarding!<br /><br />I remembering dragging in a little stool to your office, 8+ years ago, and showing you my work ... and making the connection, for the first time, between what God had brought forth in creativity within me, and the healing HE then did in and through me...!<br /><br />Thanks for being such a catalyst in my journey, Marianne!<br /><br />Shalom, DenaDenanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432734053115127369.post-14469071794652440472009-07-19T14:26:56.416-07:002009-07-19T14:26:56.416-07:00When I was in Italy last week, I went to Assisi an...When I was in Italy last week, I went to Assisi and was awestruck that I could envision St. Francis in his environment where he developed such insight and wisdom.<br />Thanks for sharing another of his prayers....I bought a ton of his more popular prayer, "Make me an instrument of your peace" for many of my friends in Japan. His thoughts are so simple and humble, yet very powerful.<br />ALSO....good luck in your art show!!mariannehttp://www.marianneclyde.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432734053115127369.post-63300222920127005602009-07-19T10:59:49.823-07:002009-07-19T10:59:49.823-07:00Truly, Harry!

Once we awaken to this reality, the next urge is to look around and wonder (indeed be drawn towards) "how can I join in Your on-going creation? what can I do *with* You...?"<br /><br />Shalom, Denadenanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432734053115127369.post-46707463166536155342009-07-18T23:04:50.549-07:002009-07-18T23:04:50.549-07:00This is a prayer of huge, dynamic activism, Dena. ...This is a prayer of huge, dynamic activism, Dena.
