Life Book Week 4

Dion Dior gave the lesson this week titled

Scales of Light.

It was a really interesting exercise

using white pencil or chalk on black paper or cardstock.

The only cardstock I had was textured....

but I went with it anyways.

I liked my white Berol Prismacolor pencil on this project.

I had my hand drawn on the paper and was shading it

as I was thinking what I would be reaching for or towards.

This became another very introspective lesson.

I know the greatest peace I have is when I am walking with God.

But how was I to convey that?

With a big ball of light?

A floating mandala?

A star?

Ah...yes ... getting closer....

Stars. The heavens.

Yes.

I have a great sense of wonder and awe as I look into the skies.

Since moving into rural Ohio...in the middle of nowhere...

the skies are wide open and massive.

Forget Big Sky Montana...

I live in Big Sky Ohio!

 

But how could I convey the awesomeness of the heavens

on this small piece of paper?

My mind drifted to that Vincent Van Gogh masterpiece, 

The Starry Night.

I already knew it couldn't stay black and white if I did this right....

And I am not saying I did it any kind of justice....

but it was fun to interpret it, simply, in my own way.

So this is what I am reaching for...

The wonder and the majesty of God in the heavens.

Wow. That can be enough right there.

That's why I made an upward arrow in my palm

saying See What's Most Important.

But I am also reaching for creative freedom,

represented by Van Gogh's creative genius.

I ended up really liking this lesson.

It came from my heart.

 

Be Brave and Become

Who You Are Meant To Be.
