There's this place that I want to be. Art House America. Cultivating creativity and community for the common good. I believe that everyone should be aware of this as a thing that is happening. But more than wanting to be there, I want to make my own art house. I want this to go on everywhere. I want to live with other people and do this as my life work. Please go to this blog and tell everyone you know about it. There are articles under Truth, Justice, Creation Care, Hospitality, Feast, Artful Kids, Music, Bookish, Visual Art, Stage & Screen, and Crafty. Even in this charming, slightly time-warped town, I see so much ample and ripe opportunity for it to happen right here, I can only imagine the many other towns that are ready for it, and I want to be there in those towns. I want to cultivate. "Dwell in the land, and cultivate faithfulness," the psalmist says. I love it for so many reasons. It makes me want to decorate my home like a Southern Living cover and make all my meals from scratch and grow my own vegetable garden and put up flyers for all the local bands and teach finger-painting to children and have legit tea time every day at 4:00.
I also want to lose fifteen pounds, relearn guitar, learn to French-braid and drive a manual, and be a better tennis player. Summer plans: commence.
Also, I am going to Honduras. Not sure if this has been announced on my page, but now it has.
