Sky Coral 6/27/07

Gladiola observed against evening and morning skies

(c) by Kirk Jordan

I will confess to having liberated this particular gladiola from its earth-bound mooring next to our home, so that I might rotate it like a kabob against the salmon-colored sky.

All pics, about June 20-21, 2007, Conway AR.---

The Mighty Works Project exists to make my neighbors wonder ...as I walk down the street barefoot, whirling gladiola blooms against that part of our sunset-colored sky that is not covered with wires.

Kingdom Arts (V3): Ruth Bell Graham (1920-2007) I considered featuring Ruth Bell Graham when I first envisioned the Kingdom Arts project. This installment is made all the more timely by the recent passing of Mrs. Graham.

It is hard to believe that a single Spring freeze (Easter Weekend) could knock out as much flora as it would appear, but it seems like our wild-flower count is still way below the norm... or I am simply failing to see what I have already seen!

New Project:

I know that I am always announcing new intents, and don't always follow through with those, however I have just started a new "project" that I will give myself a few years to complete. It is my goal to create a synopsis/outline called a Cursory Guide to the Kingdom Arts. The list would provide a brief introduction and related web-links to hundreds of artisans, writers. poets, painters etc, who loved God (or wrestled with Him) even as they created.

This last week I have spent reading poems by George Herbert (1593-1633).
