Do the Work by Steven Pressfield and Draw Near to God... I felt the urge/need to weave this week...
"Ezekiel 36:25-27 "I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws."

"God" is the only word I can possibly put here in this place in this particular post. I've been wondering for days how to finish" this one... reading, listening, weaving, struggling, wrestling with God like Jacob (Genesis 32:24) trying to find meaning, purpose, strength with which to both help others and to be at peace, filled with love to overflowing and therefore pour out love for all others "simply" by being the me I was meant to be. I found this video by Tim Mackie to be quite helpful. and just now... while at YouTube to grab the link, noticed: "Grace Will Lead Me Home" by David Dunn so I clicked on it and listened. Beautiful, and then... I usually have autoplay clicked to off, but apparently not his morning because the next song played on, ever more beautiful is God's weaving... "Great Are you Lord" by Casting Crowns, I'm sure I first heard this song at Lifepointe Church. xo God Bless, indeed!

"Life long pursuit 'to give happiness by creating beauty.' image [below] represents the quiet strength of a person who actually does the work, regardless of glamour or crowds or the resistance. The drawing is also a reminder that there's an artist within each of us, and we must encourage that artist to do the work, to make something that matters, regardless of anything else that is going on. In a letter to his brother Theo, Vincent shared this thought, 'Blessed is he who has found his work.' " source
"Man with Hoe"
by Vincent Van Gogh - a week or more since I started this blog post, and this morning, while walking Misty, this image came to mind as I listened to The Overstory and a fairly significant section about Johnny Appleseed, his hoe, his mission, his land... "The trees have vanished and the town forgets. But not the land." p. 162

Instagram blog post "The Transition Path"
Vision - I knew as soon as I saw this this morning, I was going to need to tie it in with "P" above and this entire experience of overlapping, interconnectedness, including a 4 year old named "Eden" I met last night at the restaurant, and the mention of "The first worst crime, but a fortunate windfall. Blessed be the time that apple was taken." p. 162 after Olivia in The Overstory died for 70 secs, had a Vision, revived, realizes she is praying, and "they hum... You have been spared from death to do a most important thing." This thread is throughout, but I'd not noticed it until this morning, so I decided to let it weave itself through this blog post, especially since I titled it more than a week ago...
