Artful Ecstasy

Last week my rather tiny artsy side was nourished with some amazing fare.

A drive along the lake
surrounded by fall colors,
Greek food with good friends.
Anticipation..

Then FEIST!
Altho she was tiny and so far away,
the venue big and impersonal,
the show was great.
Oh the voice - sailing, flying, taking us along on a ride with such passion.
Colors and artwork on the screen mesmerizing,
unique and ever changing.

One two three four, tell me that you love me more...

Lacey curtains, hands swirling in paint, images emerging,
flowers, pictures, movement, color...
the constant flow of notes and rhythm carrying us all along.

And Friday, a sudden invitation to Ballet!
Venturing out into the dark night in our new red chariot.
Grace at the box office - enjoying God's favour!
Dances of breathtaking beauty, unbelievable skill.
On and on,
Out of the darkness from behind the curtains flow
synchronized movements, music, color, grace.

Swept away into an exquisite world of magical movement
A feast for the eyes, the spirit, the soul

Nourishing something deep inside,
Satisfying
Surprising
Intense
Delightful
Invigorating

An oasis,
A Gift.

Undeserved mercies and kindnesses follow me all the days of my life.
Pictures of God - He swirls
He dances
He sings.
He fills, He satisfies.
