the sufficiency of grace and the beauty of mercy. foreign countries-mainly england/wales and israel. outdoor cafes. macs. helping those in need. scarves. black coffee and thick espresso. musty old bookstores. the depth of a persons eyes. exotic tea. train rides through the countryside. new moleskines (not the animal). traveling alone and feeling at home amongst strangers. cameras. long walks down country lanes and through city streets. the deep love of my heavenly abba. sketchbooks. people watching. dances. ancient cathedrals. weeping willows. the satisfaction of a finished artwork. sunsets. nights in the city. seeing life through the lens of a camera. piety without pomposity. realizing there's no such thing as coincidence, just providence.
