Square acrylic painting shown on the easel in progress with warm ochres and blue green botanicals and a figure that shows the image of a landscape where the body would be shown.
Painting has become my practice of surrender rather than control - It's a quiet conversation between my hands and all that's too vast to fully grasp. Perhaps our resistance lies simply in continuing to create, to connect, to remain visible in times that tempt us toward disappearance.

Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde's sermon to Trump. lask you to have mercy upon the people in our country. We're scared now. The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals. They may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals They pay taxes, and are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues, gurdwara, and temples. I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away, and that you help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here.
I'm with her. Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde.

She said that's lovely, but I haven't finished looking at it yet.
Do I ever love that thought.

Dick Van Dyke is the focus of Coldplay’s latest music video, “All My Love.” In a clip, Van Dyke sings, dances barefoot and offers meditations on aging, family and love.
A shorter version of the video will be released Dec. 13 on Van Dyke’s 99th birthday.
