My favorites are 6-year-old skirts from TJ Maxx, one of which has a gaping hole in the top layer, soft t-shirts, and a dress from Old Navy whose elastic is stretched to the point of irrelevance. I’d wear them every day if I could get away with it.  (I nearly do.) The idea is to [...]

I choose a mirror in a warmly lit room, early evening, lipgloss fresh.   I choose a mirror that tells me how uniquely fair and lovely I am and agrees with my opinions.   I choose a mirror that believes I am the best thing since sliced bread. Not only that, but I ask the [...]

My musical interpretation of the Lord’s Prayer, written in 2008, shared for meditation this Good Friday.

Masterpiece Project…two camp sessions offered in summer 2010…a uniquely intimate setting for young artists to explore issues of art and faith and build mentoring and peer relationships. Last year's theme: Flow. This year: Frame the Clouds. (hmmm, where have we heard that before?) Check it out! masterpiece promo from David Vosburg on Vimeo.

It can be found in wide open spaces.   And cherry-pink blossoms.    Steepled logs…    Spontaneous motion…    You can wash your hands in it.    And whisper-share it.    Find reminders.   Carry it home.
