Birch bark and hope and light

We read in a recent edition of Seven Days about an artist who prints photos on birchbark. Wait. What?

Last Saturday we were up in Montpelier for the winter farmer’s market, a trip through the co-op, the farm and garden store and lunch at Sarducci’s. We ducked into the small gallery where the exhibit was up and were blown away by Moore’s ethereal images!

Many of the images were taken in the streets and alleys in downtown Montpelier.

Moore has a lovely website, filled with many fascinating photos. His background is really interesting, too, including an MDiv from Yale.

Which brings me to the Department of Hope, a new feature that I’m adding to some of my blog posts. On my “about” page on this website I’ve written “I’m working slowly and deliberately to create this virtual space where I’ll share inspiration and a sense of calm and sanctuary with you.”So, with intention, I’m sharing a link today…William Barber to direct new Center for Public Theology and Public Policy at Yale Divinity School. Because we need to talk about morality these days. Because there are people devoting themselves to hope and collaboration and action. Because we are light seekers. Because it matters that we recognize the power of kindred spirits.

With deep hope and devotion to all that is out there to celebrate, I remain your friend. xo
