Meditative life
I hope everyone leads a meditative life. Journal, talk, paint, sculpt, be silent on purpose, pray beyond your abilities and constructs. It just seems better to dwell on the important and to do the hard work of determining the important than to lead a reactive life.
Came across an interesting thought yesterday - the Bible is a/the lens to see God, but the problem is a lot people worship the lens rather than God. I must admit that the metaphor of lens seems more honest than "blue print," "owner's manual," "word of God, closed and self-contained, beyond culture," etc.

That is a good metaphor; the lens to see God. It looks better than a "blue print" or "owners manual". It really bothers me when people call the Bible by these terms or symbols. Good thought.
I like to paint and sit.
