When peaceful silence...


Wisdom 18:14-15a

When peaceful silence lay over all,
and night had run the half of her swift course,
down from the heavens, from the royal throne
leaped Your all-powerful Word.


When all things were in quiet silence
and the night was in the midst of her course,
Thine Almighty Word, O Lord,
came down from Heaven,
out of Thy royal throne.

In the beginning...


In the beginning...a small bell chimed.

Creativity! It chimes like a small clear bell at the heart of the human spirit.

Remember the first time you spoke to the world from a piece of shirt cardboard?

Chances are we made some of that board for you...


Now that the quality of your message has changed, however,
        you really should know more about some of our professional products.

...for all kinds of grown-up people in the visual arts.

horses

"HORSES"

brought to las americas in the mid-16th century by Spanish conquistadores

horses have that *ephemeral quality* — horses have heart!

Nez Perce horse—stallions and ahkal-teke

1995 Appaloosa mares: "a Palouse Horse"

Reykjavik, 5th gait—*TOLT* = slower, fast running walk

quarter horses from Virginia: 1/4 mile!

drafting=pulling

clear cutting—even age management, "skudder" and "wedge"

way to go!

sleep...

...and the forgetfulness of our sleep is strange and beautiful in itself—and what would you rather have than sleep?

another day, another blog

...later I'll be back to edit, etc. but this blog may remain private from friends but public for blogger, as in public blog.

Since I'm somewhat of a listmaker, I'll mention my theology blog, Desert Spirit's Fire Alive is my main site as well as part of my résumé/CV; the blog styled "Poetry and Other Passions," suntreeriver [persistent biblical images] is for my poetry, some of my not-formally-theological writing and favorite poems written by other people. In addition, this far by faith contains my testimony along with related events; more recently I began sun country living as a journaling-type and commonplace book site, but it quickly evolved into a commonplace book and a place for other stuff, like some writing I've posted only there as well as elsewhere and, of course, my list of Beethoven Sonatas.

On a final note for now, finally I have a site with *city* in the title! Although I was divided between citydelights—one of my favorites from long ago—and citysafari, ultimately both won, since I made citydelights the site title and citysafari the blog address!

So this blog actually will be a place for journaling and a space for reflection.
