Those drawings are amazing!! It's been fun to see you expand your creativity this past month into poetry and drawing. Way to push yourself to do that. Also, I can't believe the kiddos made it all the way through an orchestra performance. That was brave and good for you for thinking of introducing them to that at such a young age.
The best writers are the ones who say things you're thinking but could never put into words. This fullcircle/coming around again/going home reflection really speaks to me, Kristine.
Especially these lines, "We have so many opportunities in life to come round the mountain, don’t we? To return home, even if, home is a place you weren’t sure you knew until you learned to make it. "
Both of my poetry books have to do with walking towards home, which of course is Heaven where Jesus is if we're a Christ-follower. But also the home we never had that we're able to make again ourselves physically.
It absolutely makes sense! Thank you for sharing that with me, and I can see that in your work and the way you model this “home coming” with your life.
what a treat to see this performance (i have to take a wander through the playlist you shared!) his OST for Pride and Prejudice lives rent free in my mind. and your stencil work, friend - wow! the sneakers might just be my favourite. <3
And thank you so much! Each drawing has been so special, like a time capsule for this rich, rich season in my life. The shoes are one of my faves, too!
Ummm that drawing of V! LOVE it! love all of them, actually! Wow!
Thank you!! It's been a lot of fun!

Thank you! I'm glad you're up for the adventures with them!

I hope that makes sense!
Anyway, thank you for this.
