Make art as we devotionally read! It opens up things…

I like making art in dialogue as i read scriptures! Keeps my creativity engaged in my spirituality, as i listen, and interpret.

Here’s one from today, and dialoguing with David, the great intimate king’s reflection on being an olive tree in a temple…when i make art with David, i get to overhear his spirituality! Art is a great way to read, and collaborate in meaning.

An art response to David’s song (Psalm 52)

But I am olive tree inside a temple
charged with wet fruit-charged fruit,
in fertile soil
that grows
almost electrically raw skinned in
unseen from bowed center
heart receptor’s wires and arteries.
I tremble awake daily, my nervous system, skin and bones
inside of Thee
forever, already stone to write upon.
Re-sound in me, write your lines, carve yourself in me,
i’ll be Your tree in your temple,
with silver-sliver flecked
green leaves
dusted by angel wing’s
glistens at night-me in Thee,
I’ll be your olive tree.
