Welcome. Haere Mai. I hope you enjoy the latest selection of beauty, goodness, and truth through the threads of community, prayer, and poetry worldwide. Additionally, I invite you to discover my free Advent resources/downloads. And a fresh new Christmas image with new exciting products via the blog... |

Beauty > The Voice of One Calling (7min): Discover the joining of Hebrew and Arabic voices in unified worship and adoration—to prepare the way for the coming King. Plus listen to the Bandcamp audio version. > 25 Poems for Christmas: The new 2023 collection from Art and Theology encompassing Christmas, the season of Advent, and the Epiphany. > Creation blooms anew (4min): A beautiful modern tune by Nick Chambers that was inspired by a hymn of Adam of St. Victor, a major Latin-language poet from twelfth-century France. |
|
|
Goodness > Community Bands Together: Goodness shines through—remarkably restoring a crumbling 19-Century Synagogue in NYC. > Thanksgiving resources: Yes, it’s an American holiday, but these resources are fantastic to use and adapt with praise and gratitude to good God this Christmas season. > Postcrossing: Send and receive postcards from random people around the world. > Faith in the Arts podcast: Listen as the hosts discuss all kinds of matters relating to art, faith and creative culture. |

|
Truth > Trust in love (10min): "It's time to put the fear down and to pick up the heart and light it up and follow where it goes," shares Nick Nyalungu. His truthful story of trust and forgiveness is a powerful call to follow your heart, embrace your true self, and lean into love. > Poetry Edition of Love is Moving: Truthfully, God can be known and felt even in the places where words falter. Perhaps especially there. Poetry, like music or art, can tilt our perspective a little, startling new emotions and understandings out of us. |

Food For Thought “Neither art nor faith can leave things simply as they are: they change, transform, move and convert them.” ~ Pope Francis --- “Our challenge today is to trust the power of love at the heart of life, to let ourselves be seized by love, to create and invent ways for love to evolve into a global wholeness of unity, compassion, justice, and peacemaking.” ~ Ilia Delio, The Unbearable Wholeness of Being: God, Evolution, and the Power of Love --- “Silence is God’s first language.” ~ Saint John of the Cross
--- “To love, my brothers and sisters, does not mean we have to agree. But maybe agreeing to love is the greatest agreement. And the only one that ultimately matters, because it makes a future possible.” ~ Bishop Michael B. Curry |
