I am doing a practice the next few months of centering on a different color each week. Red happened to be the first and this was the last of my days for that week. Thank you for your thoughts.

Noticing (Red) My (red) noticings for the last week. Seven photos of red along with a confession about the color...

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.

Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

I am grateful tonight for TACOs

Hey Dems - Gee...thanks for your press release... why not get back to DC and show up in front of the White House with the others who will be protesting there. Hold candles, wave signs, yell, scream, protest

The 50501 Movement (@50501) From our President on Easter. 🤡

Public notice. He may be the president of my country but I reject what he says and does. And as a Christian minister I can also say this does not represent the love of the Jesus I seek to follow.

Some Days Lend Themselves to B&W A day that was a (mostly) black and white day to focus on the details, the patterns, and the movement, rather than the wide spectrum of color.

Black and white can help bring out so much detail, flow, and movement. Some days, this is the way. #photography #blackandwhite #beauty #water #flow #rilke

There were not many things in life that live up to the hype. The two gold medal hockey games both absolutely did. #hockey #goldmedals

Watching the Olympic figure skating closing exhibition tonight. So much joy, energy, diversity, beauty, athleticism, life, and even a panda and Guns N’ Roses. I’m going to bed tonight with a big smile and a warm heart. #olympics #figureskating

The Not-So-Broken Bench, Rony, Magic, and our Preconceptions How our pre- and misconceptions can fool us...and how we can learn from a mid-90s basketball player about change...

Looking Closer Into a Very Dense Soup of Things A friend described their life as a “very dense soup of things.” I latched onto that evocative statement as it describes what a lot of life feels like right now

When life feels like a dense soup, maybe that’s a sign not to pull back but to get closer.

Isn't there some saying that says, "You are the company you keep"?

Can we set up a public theological debate between Mike Johnson and Pope Leo?

It Is About Holding the Light, Not the Light Itself I didn’t sleep well Saturday to Sunday...Holding the light through the murder of Alex Pretti and insights from LOTR, music, wisdom, and love.

It Is About Holding the Light, Not the Light Itself - Standing on our neighborhood corner with a single candle last night at 8pm. It wasn’t about the light itself but about being there to hold the light in vigil. #alexpretti #justice #stopice #vigil #psalms #lotr open.substack.com/pub/imagoscr...
