the fruit of new life...

leaving a mark on the viewer...

having eyes to see... the prayer (below) presents us without God as ignorant, blind, lacking senses... I think of a person wrapped up, in some kind of stretchy fabric so you can see them moving but there is no way for them to really function. I've seen a beautiful clip of film of someone inside a sheer-ish red-ish fabric cube; it felt like a womb as they moved around inside it- their appendages would show resistance against the surface but not break out.

(I think that video was more inspiring than most things I saw in New York on Friday... and we saw A LOT of art... nothing really shook me though. Some "interesting" things but not much that said "Phenomenal!" "I'll know it when I see it...")

Back to the idea of death into life, and thinking about the idea of outfits relating to who a person is... what if there were 2 outfits; one that was associated with the "dead person" and one that signified "new life" in some way? What if it was the same outfit (in design) but made with completely different materials? Just tossing it out there...

also the thing with starfish and regeneration had crossed my mind too, but it seems like, "what can you do with that??" It's kind of a stretch or maybe too literal but I was thinking also of God's promise to Abraham, that his offspring would be more than the stars or sand... regeneration/foreknowledge/promise. stars. starfish. wasn't it called "spontaneous regeneration"? hmmm.

I think the 144 lightswitches has potential... keep the ideas coming, folks!

Also Connie I was wondering, does it matter when we arrive at NA? (Thinking of booking flights etc.)
