These are dry times. Summer slips away faster than you can catch it – a dime down the drain. The sky hangs damp and icy today. Across the globe, powerful little men toy with the world’s future like it’s a game of chicken. Hurricanes have ravaged large parts of our earth. Families will suffer the effects for years to come. Terrorists won’t let London sleep.
This planet can get so ugly. So broken. So disordered. So many of our mirrors are shattered.
There is order in beauty. A divine order, I believe, but whatever your theology you can feel it. The affirmation of disparate parts falling into place.

It's Tuesday - let's talk art. This week, I powered through Steal Like an Artist, a great little book by Austin Kleon.
What art, media and culture have you engaged with this past week? What would you recommend and why?
Art is best enjoyed and digested in community, so this is our weekly space to have those conversations - to practice discernment as a collective.
So, what are you watching, visiting, listening to, reading, etc?
Where have the arts taken you this week?
