well, it is the second week of the arts festival and so far it has been a feast for the senses. pamela nelson's awe inspiring stain glass windows, amanda legget's soulful voice, and myriads of visual and musical pieces all make this such a rich and full experience. friday is the spoken word event with essays and poems, words from hearts and minds of a diverse group of people. new moms, professors, musicians, theologians, linguists, word smiths, accountants, poets... all bringing new life to words that exist because of their authors' lives and thoughts. i am one of those and will post my poem, my exploration of grace, on friday before the event. i love being a part of this festival. it is always inspiring, a reminder to create and enjoy creation. this year has been quite a blessing working with jodi h. co-managing the event-- which makes the load much much lighter. and now we pray that the 20% chance of rain will reduce to 0% and the crowds will show and hearts will be blessed.
