Shine the Divine:

Creativity IS a Spiritual Practice

When we see through our hearts, we recognize that every single one of us is infused with creativity. Divine Sparks are embedded in everyone and everything. It's up to us to be courageous, to look and listen deeply, to find the sparks, gather and release them back into the universe, transformed into something new. Join me as we wake up to the sacred-ordinary blessings waiting to greet us each and every day.

Entwined

vines
entwined
against gray sky
sun-kissed berries
await small birds
to alight upon
these tangled
lines

    Believe it or not, down here in Dallas, Texas we're enjoying a sunny day that will likely see temps up in the 60's. By tomorrow it will be a high in the 30's and they're predicting snow. (a rare treat for us - especially the kids - though not our drivers - scary!) Your images are so breathtaking. Have you ever thought of publishing a book? Love and light, Jill
