Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry,

the philosophy which does not laugh and

the greatness which does not bow before children.

Khalil Gibran

I am Beloved, and I receive most of my day trying to discover the implications of this as I live in the tension of “the already but not yet.”

I am an artist (photographer, musician and writer) who follows of Jesus on the regular and lover.

Thrive in the simple

Delight in Beauty

Love color

Believe people are stunning… absolutely beautiful… all of us.

I am a fighter

Fight hard most day to remain open to life. Divine surprises show up on a regular basis for me. Thankful for them all and try to listen well to why I am privileged to receive them, while fighting the temptation to make them what they are not or force anything into existence.

For the most part, I think life is good though the nights are often extremely long for me I am experiencing more and more Alaskan days.

Thankful for them all.

I believe another way is possible.

It is a way filled with many life-giving possibilities if we allow our imaginations to be sparked by what our eyes see, ears hear and hearts feel.
