I call my dear friend Robin O'Brien the "bard of my heart". We have collaborated on maybe a hundred events together, ranging from dozens upon dozens of Taize services from the American Cathedral in Paris to Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, fifteen years of Advent Benedictine retreats at Bshop's Ranch  and workshops  ranging from Hildegard of Bingen  to Mary Oliver.  I love giving her an "assignment" . I tell her a story about the lecture I am going to give, and she writes a song in response. Here is one of my favorites, inspired by Catherine of Siena: The More I Love.

    For years, I have been moved by the works of Scottish land artist Andy Goldsworthy, but it has only been this past year of Covid  when I turned to creating art in nature as a way to help me deal with fear, depression and anxiety.  Partly informed by my studies of alchemy and  Medieval architecture and sacred geometry, I began to create objects from the simple materials foraged from my yard and on daily walks in the woods near my home. 

    . May they ignite your own imagination  inspire you to see what is possible  with what is right at hand. What is a weed? What is a flower? It is often only in the eye of the beholder. as my first mandala for Lent taught  me.  This practice has been a good reminder that  beauty is ALWAYS possible, if only we have the eyes to see.
