An Artist's Journey in Words and Pictures

The sun rises over a peaceful valley, illuminating the beautiful colors of autumn.  There is something miraculous about the beginning of a new day - a day filled with opportunities and challenges - we never know what lies ahead.  The unexpected can always be expected to happen. Sometimes the surprises are welcome, sometimes they can be devastating. That is why, for me anyway, it is a sacred time, a time to give thanks to God for the new day, knowing that whatever happens, I am not alone. 

This piece was inspired in part by the song made popular a few years ago by Cat Stevens. It was written by Steven Curtis Chapman and Eleanor Farjeon.

Morning Has Broken

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing
Praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
