Your work always inspires me and leads me into a deeper appreciation of the word…have always thought there are thin places on earth, let alone in the year of time with space.
thank you for your reflections and images.

Just wanted to thank you for your art and your words. I visit your site almost weekly for sermon prep inspiration… and it felt like about time that I say: THANK YOU!

Jan,
Thank you for your art (work?). This image for All Saints’ stirs, resonates and allows me to rejoice and remember those who are now at the Feasting Table.

Another Central Floridian here. I love your art at the top of this post. It’s so thought provoking and lovely. The idea of a thin place appeals to me as well, on many levels. I feel the same way lately – and have only come recently to realize that it’s an annual feeling.

Many thanks, Mavis and Elizabeth. Mavis—blessings to you in your “pre-Advent” season—a lovely idea! Elizabeth—your retreat at Casa del Sol sounds wondrous, particularly at this thin time of year. I visited Abiquiu on a visit to Santa Fe a few years ago. An enchanting contrast to Florida (which can be enchanting in a different way).

On this Holy Day, I give thanks to the Holy One for your role as Preacher and Teacher in my life this past year. I have just returned from a four day retreat at Casa del Sol, Ghost Ranch, in Abiquiu, New Mexico, in the house next to Georgia O’Keefe’s with my group of Ammas. A thin place at a thin time, and Spirit hovered over us in restoration, healing, love and laughter. Thanks for your sign-posts and encouragement on the way! Have a Blessed Day! (Yes, I am retired… in another liminal place of Spirit!)

I like the thin places image. I have a personal season of ‘pre-Advent’ and like to get the Christmas tree out about now. December gets just so busy (and hot in this part of the world). I also love your art. And the statement. Very moving. The auction sounds a wonderfilled night.
