Joyful Childlike Qualities

Join The Challenge

Tuesdays Trickles – My thinking corner.

I’ve always felt that my brother Stephen having Autism is a many layered Blessing revealing itself in more amazing ways as time goes on. Despite the fact that he is 55 his mind is about at the level of a eight or nine year old. Stephen may not be sophisticated but he is kind, loving, gentle, sweet, considerate and caring.

I suppose because his mind is mostly in the present and he does not have the capacity to worry about the past or the future Stephen remains “In the Moment.” This gives him the ability to partake of spontaneous fun & games as you can see in the below photos. Stephen balances me. I being the worrywart immediately think of various fun, exciting and adventurous activities that we can do together. Imagination and not being afraid to possibly make a total fool of yourself gives you a Freedom to explore new worlds. You can be a Super Hero or any character real or imagined!!

DAILY PROMPT

Purpose

No Matter What Other People Think or Say About Me, God Loves Me with a Sense of Purpose. The words of the enemy mean nothing to me only what God has to say about me. My writing and photography are my Passions and my Purpose. My brother Stephen is often my Muse.

My Raison D’être

Habakkuk 2:2-3

New King James Version (NKJV)

The Just Live by Faith

²Then the Lord answered me and said:

“Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
³For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.

The Artist’s Eye

Is there a painting or sculpture you’re drawn to? What does it say to you? Describe the experience. (Or, if art doesn’t speak to you, tell us why.)

The Brooklyn Museum where Art meets Activism! One of the best museums in New York! What really draws me to the art at the Brooklyn Museum is that it is inclusive featuring art not just from Europeans but from Artists of Color. All voices are represented. When I go to the Brooklyn Museum I see my face, all faces, my culture, all cultures. Please feel free to click on the links below to see some of the past exhibitions.
