snow upon the wilted gold
Published 10/29/2009 Artistic , songs that speak deep Leave a CommentTags: cassie nason, seasons, snow, winter
a few weeks ago, as a reflection on Justin’s teaching of Switchfoot’s “New Way to Be Human”, we all improvised poems around the phrase “All Things New”. One that got shared, written by Cassie Nason, captures that idea through nature and the change of seasons. We thought it only fitting to post it here today, amidst the winter white and the apparent new season that is upon us….
snow upon the wilted gold
breaking the bow of autumn
does the muted limb
understand the sacrifice
of winter’s steady progress?
does the cooling kiss
bring excitement or mourning?
can we see a way to be
new again?
when all around a fog has settled
strangling
there is no protest
from the ash
only embrace
captivation
as the snow falls softly
down

Ukraine Sand Animation

I shared this with a few friends yesterday and found it cool enough to post. In our discussion of SONGS THAT SPEAK DEEP, we’ve really been talking about art that moves the soul. I would contend that we are created to be creative ourselves on some level… This sand animation from “Ukraine’s Got Talent” (yes, I know, random!) reminded me of how great artists can speak so powerfully. It also reminded me that this is a whole lot better than Hasselhoffs show! Enjoy… The artist is Kseniya Simonova and in this video she depicts Russia’s ‘Great Patriotic War’ against the Nazis in the 1940’s. -C
Strangely, the same day we kick off our Peru Christmas Fund Raiser, Balloon Boy stole the headlines… Coincidence? We think not. What does it all mean? We’re not sure. But if you haven’t seen Falcon’s follow up interview on the Today show, you’ll want to check this out…

Our Work in Pachacutec This Summer
We just received some video from our brothers and sisters in Peru. It looks like they recently dedicated the church in Pachacutec that we helped complete this summer. It’s clear from these videos that Elsa shouldn’t be a cinematographer, but for those of you who know what was there before, you’ll be amazed at the (almost) finished product! The best angle may be seen in the last minute or so of video one, where Elsa steps outside. Remember, our Christmas in Peru fundraiser starts this week…. More details to come if you weren’t there last Thursday. For now, thank God for His work in Lima!
