I find this is one of the recurring gifts (and challenges) of the scriptures...helping me imagine beyond what's familiar, and to stretch into that. Blessings to you! Thank you, Claire.

Partly because it's interesting - painting tissue paper, I wouldn't have thought of it. Partly because you're creating beauty in ways you didn't really plan or expect. A bit like life.

How lovely that we I can imagine myself transfigured and passing on these wonders :-))) “And yet we need to keep practicing that transition, to keep rehearsing the journey that moves us from being recipients of wonder to becoming people who, transformed and—shall we say it?—transfigured by what we have received, can then offer these wonders to a broken world.”
