Bean Pictures

So, the bean...which u can see in the video, is this cool sculpture that is like a giant mirror. all the curves of the bean make for some pretty neat photos. here are a few for ur viewing pleasure.


Live from Snowland


so, here's a little vid vid from when megs was with me in chicago. the date? saturday december 1st. we got to experience the first true snow together that saturday...before that...there were only minor flurries. what a joy. i was wearing inappropriate footwear that day leading to eventual pain in my soaking wet and cold toes...but it was WELL worth it darlings. well worth it!

Piano Man

i am continually amazed at the giftings humans have and how touching those gifts are. i have been blessed to encounter several individuals with a spirit about them...a spirit that runs through them. just the other night i was broken by music...but broken in such a beautiful way that the tears that fell were wonderful tears...feelings i could not justly explain. and at such a random time. i thought i was just going to be able to relax and listen as my friend practiced his jury pieces...but something shifted and with that shift came a rush of emotion...a musical piece that shouted something different...a piece that danced...and my heart danced with it.

i am so grateful for those who are open to sharing their gifts for through those gifts there is liberation. i pray i too will always be willing to share my gifts with others.

we are crazy people us humans...able to birth things we don't even understand.
