I attended a spiritual retreat as part of a Shalem program in DC in 2000. My final project for the program was “Beauty As A Spiritual Path”. I had just begun using the drawing program on my computer and I added simple drawings to a number of readings and reflections I had collected. New insights and new drawings accumulated over the years, and when I retired as a pastor in 2004, I was even more convinced of the importance of the phrase “God is Beauty.” In the super-rational and super-technical culture of ours, paying attention to beauty or its absence, is a life changing and life healing dynamic in our human design and therefore to our relationships and our planet. These words tie my life together, they keep me in studio mode, and give what I think and write a direction.
