On my nightstand:
It is not that suffering will end. As far as I can tell, the one thing we can count on is that everything we are counting on is going to fall through under us. I will never welcome the feeling of falling through the floor. But I believe we are falling through into God or something—but not nothing.
—Polly Berrien Berends, Coming to Life
On my easel:
OMG, I am so well practiced in suffering!
But I know the reason I paint is that painting offers me practice in finding ways to go along with this process of falling through into God.
I get considerable practice.
I need considerably more.

We are all falling into something! And some of the time where we land surprises us. This is a wonderful series!
MaryAnn, I surely am falling into something more often than not, and indeed the landing places frequently surprise me. Thanks for your vote of confidence in this series : )
Opening these gets me lost in.. a colorful mediation. :)
Sheila, hello! Happy to hear about this colorful 'getting lost.'
