Weathered but strong for the moment
A safe space made by man.
Time and the elements will destroy
But God in the heart of man, a safe space forevermore.
For no force against can deploy.
My watercolor was made from this picture I took at CITW of a birdhouse on the fringe of a field with dried goldenrods still bobbing their heads in the breeze. It was peaceful to look at and I contemplate the story behind…think of the hands that made the birdhouse and the successful broods of birds now alive and flourishing because of this man made safe space.

Thanks Gene! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!
Lovely. Something so simple means so much. I live not far from CITW and know the place. Simple life let’s us think.
Isn’t CITW such a gem?!? Glad to say hello to a fellow retreatant! I think simplicity is the answer and CITW teaches that so well.
